- Description
 - The RPM file format, associated with the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM), is a package management system primarily used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives like Fedora and CentOS. An RPM file is essentially a container for software or data that allows for easy installation, upgrading, and removal of software on a Linux system. It encapsulates compiled software, metadata about the package such as its version, architecture, and dependencies, and configuration files necessary for the software to run correctly.
 - A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
