      <para>When installing a package, ensure it is compatible with your operating system and processor architecture. This can usually be determined by checking the package name. Many of the following examples show RPM packages compiled for the AMD64/Intel 64 computer architectures; thus, the RPM file name ends in <filename>x86_64.rpm</filename>.</para>

    <para>During upgrades, RPM handles configuration files carefully, so that you never lose your customizations&#8212;something that you cannot accomplish with regular <filename>.tar.gz</filename> files.</para>
-   <para>For the developer, RPM allows you to take software source code and package it into source and binary packages for end users. This process is quite simple and is driven from a single file and optional patches that you create. This clear delineation between <firstterm>pristine</firstterm> sources and your patches along with build instructions eases the maintenance of the package as new versions of the software are released.</para>
