Dear friends,
Thanks for your reply.
As i known, Yum is written in python script  language, so it requires interpreter. This make Yum slowly than some update tools. If you don't mind, can you tell me more about the main differences between Yum3.xx and Yum2.xx, that make the speed of Yum3.xx has greatly improved.

Thank you very much

In my experience, yum < 3 (like the one in Centos4) is slow, but the
speed of yum >=3 (like the one in Centos5) has greatly improved. yum is
also flexible in that it allows plugins (my favorite is priorities).


Having use ubuntu recently, I believe apt (not apt-rpm. Haven't used
that in a long time) is faster, and it's better at handing broken
dependency. However, apt-rpm requires a different repository from yum.
This means usually you can't switch apt <-> yum, you're stuck with
whatever your distro provides you. You could always create your own
repository mirror, but in my oppinion this requires too much effort if
you're updating only several servers.
