I apologize for stirring the hornet's nest, but on a low end machine (P2/366, 256MB) even with metadata-parser -and- fastestmirror, yum is slower by an order of magnitude than apt-get (both apt-rpm and Debian's apt) and slapt-get (slackware) and requires twice as much memory. I'm talking about "yum -y -C update" compared to "apt-get -y dist-upgrade" Am I the only one having this problem? Did anyone try to instrument yum in-order to solve this problem? - Gilboa -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
