I’m working on the 2nd edition of Linux Phrasebook, specifically the chapter on installing & managing software. The distros I use are all Debian-based, so I’m not as up on RPM-based stuff as I could be. So here are some questions for the RPM users.

* Is yum still the main way people manage RPM packages?
* Is yumex, a GUI for yum, widely used? Or is there something else people use? * Are the GUIs for yum instead pretty dependent upon distro? In other words, does SUSE have its own, and Red Hat has its own, and CentOS has its own, & so on? * By this point, yum is mature, correct? Does it have feature parity with APT?

Any help/direction y’all can give me is much appreciated.
