Well they are competition. RedHat wants you to pay for RHN, Ximian wants to you pay for RC premium services. ;^) Seriously though, look at what they do. They download and install RPMs, and do dependency checking. Neither of them munge the RPMD DB in a particular way that screws up the others (That's RPM's job ;) ). If you have a problem between conflicting packages, you'll have a problem between conflicting packages. If you have a conflict between Ximian's packages and Red Hat's that problem will exist independently of the tool used to download and install them. That's why you pick one desktop package set and use it. Jumping back and forth will be a problem, but it is a human error, not one related to the use of the tool. They both suffer from the same problem: namely that if it doesn't know where to get a dependency, it barfs. IMO, if they don't tell you *why*, get it from them. Those are my thoughts anyway. -- Bill Anderson RHCE #807302597505773 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
