What’s the difference?
Why do we have different RPMs for Red Hat and SuSE? What’s the difference? Can I use a generic (that is, probably Red Hat) RPM on my SuSE 7.0 installation? A good explanation of the difference vvould be very useful, as I find this ali rather confusing.

rH Red Hat and SuSE use identical package j| 11 management systems, but their sa* 1 filesystems and library versions are not alvvays the same. Often configuration fileş need to go into a different place, or it needs the binary compiled differently, so logs end up somevvhere else, but it is usually due to the main distribution having differing versions of majör system libraries, vvhich vvill cause things not to vvork quite right.
