If you wan't Debian, then by all means go use Debian. Red Hat is about as likely to add apt-get to Red Hat Linux, as Debian is to include up2date in Debian GNU/Linux. >> And I don't want to fuel the arrogance of Debian wanabees: >> it has more than enough fuel by itself. :-) > >Even if that were true, do you really care?

Wether or not apt-get is a good solution or not depends on a given person's individual tastes. Red Hat provides up2date, for this purpose in Red Hat Linux. The beauty of open source, is that if you wish to use some tool that does not come with your chosen OS, or is not supported by your chosen distribution, you have a variety of options available, including, but not limited to: - Download and install the given unsupported software - Switch to a different distribution that comes with, and possibly even supports the particular software that you wish to use. Open source does give people these, and many more choices. -- Mike A.
