Hmm.. well, I advertised the class as not for newbies.  If that wasn't

But, that's exactly why we already had the meeting on RPM.  Ben Reed
did a very good job of showing how to use RPM.  Or, is it just the
people you've been talking to, Jon, missed that meeting? (Shame on them,
if so. :-)

There are many out there.  A simple google search should suffice.
