What is an RPM file?
RPM – RPM package. RPM is the package format of Red Hat, Fedora and SUSE Linux. Inside is a compressed CPIO archive with the program files.

ZIP – ZIP archive. ZIP is the most widely supported archive format: every operating system opens it without extra software. It compresses each file separately, usually with Deflate, so single files can be pulled out quickly.
