YUM is command-line only and uses index files that are smaller than apt. It has a chance to be included in Red Hat and the redhat-config-packages GUI used as a front-end. Maybe. Works great. APT is command line-only, but Synaptic is the GUI front-end. APT/Synaptic are used in Connectiva Linux, which is a RH derivative. Works great. Both YUM and APT act as smart wrappers to rpm, so really, under-the-hood, it's rpm anyway. Choose either http://www.fedora.us/ or http://freshrpms.net, but not both. Both support apt and yum. Both are good. -- Hoyt -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
