If he answers "you can't without package manager", it just means he doesn't know how to deal with fuzzy (to use the nice word) problem descriptions from clueless (to use not-so-nice word) co-workers. If he answers "rpm -e", than he doesn't know what is package manager. See... You loose both ways. The only right thing to do when question like that pops up during an interview is to smack the person that asked the question with a large trout right onto his head ;-). If he has a bold spot, aim for it. Probably won't get you the job (or maybe it will, you never know), but hopefully the person conducting interview will realize it was not really that smart question :-) Of course, this assumes you rememered to bring a trout with you. Which will also show you are pendatic and always prepared. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
