Wups! I know there is at least a third RPM-based Linux; thought that was it.

Arch is not an RPM distro. If you try to divide Linux distributions up by
package format, you end up with two large and three small families:
The big families descend from Debian and Red Hat.
The small families descend from Slackware, Arch, and Gentoo.
There are also some singletons with their own package formats.
TDE is, or has been, available for all five families, although I'm
uncertain of its status on Arch and Slackware at this time (or on BSD
for that matter), and not all packages are available for Gentoo (yet).
Whether or not it would be possible to install TDE on OSX with the
aid of libraries from something like Homebrew . . . I don't think anyone's
ever tried, but my guess is that it wouldn't work very well.
E. Liddell And I’d guess there are more than debian and
redhat as top level
distributions? (OpenSUSE? Mandriva? PCLinuxOS?) But, again, I don’t
really know how many distributions TDE works on?
RedHat, OpenSuSE and Arch are RPM based. I think Trinity runs on at
least one flavour of BSD, and I wish it ran on OS-X, whose built-in
desktop is even worse than Windows. :-)
