We certainly didn't write that. (If we did, please provide the > URL.) apt and yum are roughly equivalent in doing everything. We > really don't care which you use. I personally use both every day. On top of that, technically neither Fedora nor Freshrpms distributes "apt4rpm" which is more a SuSe related version of apt-rpm including shell-script wrapping to make for easier CLI in some ways, both F* distribute straight apt-rpm port "as is" with a couple of patches to tweak this and that. As for apt vs yum, both have something the other one doesn't. Matter of taste and feature requirements. - Panu -
