I thought (perhaps incorrectly though) that apt-get was only used under Debian distros. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Technically, there is an "apt-rpm" package you can install for redhat/fedora/mandrake that works the same as Debian's apt-get, but uses rpm depositories instead of deb repositories.
Interesting, although I suspect that we have gone from the state a couple of years ago where package management was a black art to a situation where there are dozens of these "solve dependencies, download and install" tools.
Yum is awesome. I took me ages to get cyrus-imapd running on my dev box here, compiling and cooking config files from scratch. A simple yum install on my deployed server took about 5 minutes and ran out of the box with about 20 minutes of tweaking. *sighs*
Hopefully it's tools like this which will bring Linux much, much closer to wider acceptance by the user, rather than by the sysadmins like yourself/syshackers like me. :-)
Thanks for the gem of info. Today has been full of these!
Cheers,
Andrew
