   I've had mostly reasonable experiences with RPM, but have had the odd run in   
   with RPM that was tricky to resolve.

   I haven't used it for years.  It was odd back then and I didn't like it. :)

   I just hate the fragmented documentation.  At least SysV I could manipulate by   
   first principles, if my rote memory failed me.

   My early Linux experiences were with a BSD based init, and I found that pretty   
   straightforward to follow.
