non sequiteur. You can use red carpet AND usr-local-bin gnome. It's not an either/or situation. One is a desktop environment, the other is a package manager. not the same thing
But the fact is that Dread Carpet is geared towards installing Ximian's packages. When I have used it, it has shown scant little respect for packages not produced by Ximian Inc.
Explain please? As far as I can see you can use it to install any packages whatsoever. I've used it to install KDE packages from the supplementary, I've used it to install packages from packman, I've never seen any "preference" for ximian packages As far as I can see it is the best package manager for RPM out there.
