I don't doubt that, it's probably mainly a question of habit; but with aptitude you have all the information about every recently added, obsolete and upgradeable package just under your eyes in the ncurses gui. It is very very comfortable. I saw tha yum is not less usable or less capable but you should invoke it for every wished action. I'll take the habit. :-) Thanks for your time. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It is a CLI package manager. I use it for remote updates. Look at man yum to know the full details of the power. Of course once you add in plugins, you now have a more powerful CLI manager. Much more powerful than yumex is. -- Robin Laing -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Have a look at their man pages to see what I mean. http://linux.die.net/man/8/yum http://linux.die.net/man/1/yum-utils http://linux.die.net/man/8/rpm The various tools in yum-utils have separate man pages so be sure to check them out too.
