Does RPM have a remove function?  Check your docs.  If so, try that.  If
that works, the you can try the apt thing again.  If RPM fails you,
there should be a way to list (from some RPM function) every file that
the RPM install/update put on your machine.  The Debian function is
"dpkg -L apache"  About 40-45 files.  Delete  'em, throw RPM away, and
do "apt-get update" and "apt-get install apache"  I'm assuming these are
standard .deb packages.

If you do decide to wipe and re-install the OS, save your config files,
and go with Debian.
