I've spent a fair amount of time with both "yum" and "apt" and I fail to see any "superiority" of apt over yum. Then again, my main distro is Gentoo, and I *know* Portage (and recompiling everything on an XO) isn't going to scale. :) But seriously, does the XO really need two package managers? What's wrong with Fedora/RPM/yum? Do people really need to spend ergs on supporting Debian? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
