RPM is Redhat Package Manager: an open-source project that
provides an infrastructure to install/uninstall packages under
Unix (with support for package dependancies).  Packages can be
distribute as binaries or sources.  SRPM is a Source RPM
package that contains package sources as well as configuration
build information.  A binary package is often referred to as an
"RPM".  (e.g.  I found a SPARC Python2.1 RPM at .....)

RPM is the "native" package format used by several Linux
distributions (RedHat, Mandrake, Caldera?).
