You might want to try out Yum before abandoning Fedora/RPMs altogether.
I still prefer APT to Yum and Debs to RPMs, but Yum does have some nice
features. 

I installed Fedora on two machines when prepping for the LWN piece, and
I'm pleased with it. If they can actually pull off the "community
distro" thing, I think it will be a great developer/end user/small
business distro. 

I'm also looking forward to the next release of Xandros. I think it has
a lot of potential for the end user market. I slapped it on my little
brother's machine and he's only had one or two issues -- mostly stuff
like QuickTime movies not wanting to play in via CrossOver Plugin.
