Hi Christian,

   I don't mind if people mail you with their choice of package types, either rpm or deb. You can then report to us the results of this poll. Thinking about it I just started a poll, see: http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=7650#7650 and make your choice.

PS: note this is not a "referendum" :-)
