Greg Lewis ed1a42fcb0 . The RPM web site now refers to it as the "RPM Package Manager", not the
"Red Hat Package Manager".  Fix this and reformat the text.

The RPM Package Manager is a powerful command line driven package
management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying,
querying, and updating computer software packages. Each software
package consists of an archive of files along with information about
the package like its version, a description, and the like. There
is also a related API ("Application Program Interface"), permitting
advanced developers to bypass 'shelling out' to a command line, and
to manage such transactions from within a native coding language.
