With SuSE it was very useful because there is no online software installation other than Online Update, which really only provides bugfixes, etc, rather than version updates, new packages, etc. There is a lot of support for apt and SuSE so plenty of packages are available on the repositories, but I don't know if that's the case for Mandrake. To be honest, I can't see it being any better than urpmi which offers all the software you would want and resolution of dependencies, which makes it pretty comparable to apt for debian (still the best, I'm afraid). I did occasionally have dependency problems with apt4rpm but I suspect that that is probably down to the rpm packaging system rather than apt itself. There is quite a nice GUI for apt called synaptic if you prefer that approach.
Don't know if that's any help to you..........;-) David -- Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur
