Hello,
 
 
I have what appears to be a rather unique question, which has not been answered on \
the Internet, rpm website; the one I visited is http://www.rpm.org/, support pages \
and linked, or documentation.  
 
I am interested in running an rpm-based distribution that has some new features, that \
I have outlined below.  
 

      Native support for serial ata. I consider native support as not requiring \
external drivers at startup or installation.  Hyper-Threading Technology

I looked up where I stand as far as driver support under linux, and luckily my system \
manufacture already provides native drivers, but their limited on distributions.

 

      SUSE Linux
      Red Hat Linux 9


 

Would I receive the following features with rpm, 1. cross-compatibility. If I took a \
Red Hat Linux 9 rpm could I install it on a different distribution? 2. backwards \
compatibility. Is it possible to use a 4.1 rpm distributable on a older rpm \
installation?

 

Thank you

 

JB
