1. Quick Introduction - If necessary
	RPM is RPM Package Manager. Made by RedHat. Allows to easily install
	binaries and rebuild sources on Unix like uperating systems. Also provides
	very easy to use query and verification features. And of course 
	simplifies the uninstall process.
	
2. Before Creating - some useful options
	-i - install
	-V - verify
	-e - uninstall
	-q - query use with l-list f-file i-info p-not installed package
	
3. Creating the spec file.
	name it ".spec"
