If you wish that weren't so (like me) write to the freshrpms guys and ask them to coordinate better with fedora.
Actually, I suppose it's possible they've fixed those problems. I'm speaking from my .95 experience. It's very likely that at least the apt and yum packages will fight with eachother.

Hey all,
I spent some time today trying to figure out where I wanted to point my /etc/apt/sources.list file now that I'm running FC1. I think I've got a pretty good one. Here are all my non-commented lines:
rpm http://download.fedora.us fedora/fedora/1/i386 os stable testing unstable updates rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core freshrpms updates rpm http://download.fedora.us fedora/redhat/0.95/i386 os stable testing unstable updates
just make your sources.list resemble that and do:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
or if you're really behind:
apt-get dist-upgrade
I left the fedora .95 one in there because it still has some packages newer than FC1 (synaptic). Also the freshrpms line gives you access to some good stuff.
I especially enjoyed the fact that freshrpms has gimp-1.3.22 in it now. It's pretty sweet and not that's it's an rpm you don't have to compile
it. If you haven't tried gimp-1.3 check it out, it's way cooler than
gimp-1.2
There you have it. Have fun.
