Is MeeGo built from Scratch or does it build on mobil and/or Maemo?

Not sure where to post this or if its been covered, but I read someplace that MeeGo will be RPM based....I a bit bummed about this....I love my deb/Debian!
So is it good by Debian....?Not a fan of RPM
Since I use openSUSE, I'm always working with RPM's, but I'm not biased and think the apt-get is actually very good.
SO its the PACKAGE manager you should be saying is no good rather than rpm/deb.

It was written on march 3rd, only a day ago on meego project website, which surely atleast makes me confident that n900 will have meego OS and sooner than we expect.

I hope they stay with deb.

I'm planning to buy the Nokia N900 in the end of this month, but now im a bit suspicious. Is it reasonable, now that Meego and devices running it are on their way to the market?

rpm == 'rpm package manager'
deb == 'debian binary package format'
A deb is like an rpm, they are both binary files that have been pre-compiled for a specific computer architecture. The difference comes in the tools that manage the packages.
Debian's advantage here is that it supports a lot more architectures, has more packages, and resolves dependencies better in some cases than rpm.
Both systems are good although Debian's resolved dependencies first, rpm based systems had to wait until yum was developed before they had similar tools to apt-get.
Now rpm based systems have tools like zypper which are excellent. In some ways, rpms are easier to build for developers and debs are a little harder. But debs tend to be easier for users to install than rpms, though the difference is negligible.

Except the MeeGo API is based on Qt (and Web Runtime), so Qt apps for Maemo 5 will work there with little effort. The rest depends on how fast MeeGo devices and Harmattan show up in the market.
