That's a valid point. However, all Maemo software currently is built for a Debian system. The transition will require a lot of effort. I'd like very much to listen to the reasoning behind the transition. For example, it would make sense if there are plans for an official Redhat distribution for mobiles. After all they should be interested in selling support to mobile companies like Nokia, LG, etc. p.s. I've a question (no intention on starting a flame): Is it possible to upgrade a Redhat system a'la "apt-get dist-upgrade"? IOW, do you think that OS upgrades (SSUs as Nokia calls them) will be possible?
