a quick sumup: synaptic is a nice GUI for apt. up2date is only usefull to show pending updates yum is only usefull after fc2 (IMO), unless you are dealing with multilib. So for fc<3, use apt. For fc>3, use yum. If x86_64, use yum. That is the simple explanation. man, 14.03.2005 kl. 20.31 skrev beartooth: > On Mon, 14 Mar 2005 13:44:39 -0500, seth vidal wrote: > > > choose one of: > > > > yum > > up2date > > apt/synaptic > > > > > > and go with it. > > > > do not use all of them at once. > > Well, as long as yum is working -- which seems to take a lot more and more > frequent tweaking -- I prefer it to up2date.
