Let's see, where to begin to respond...
1. This *is* the CentOS list, last time I looked. We don't use apt-get.
2. A fair bit of the system software on ubuntu is several releases newer;
therefore, anything written on the current release of that will not
run on an enterprise distro for years.
3. Ubuntu is, as far as I can tell, targeted at the desktop user. It is *not*
targeted for servers.
4. Finally, yum has nothing to do with this: it's all repo software, not
how I get it.
Now, I AM most certainly derogatory about the developers. *Most* large
organizations, and larger libraries, are *not* going to be running The
Latest Ubuntu, with Unity, or whatever; that *is* who, by default, they're
targeting. Now, if the software was intended for home users (and I need to
implement a library system for my own library), that would be fine. But
it's a bad idea for the actual target audience.
