Yes, apt-get has been ported to RH, but it is more of a hack on top of RPM than a true apt-based system. I have had major problems trying to upgrade full systems on RH using apt-get, but have yet to experience problems with Debian. It seems that Debian just does a better job with dependencies time and time again. I'd like to hear of other's experiences with apt-get on RH vs Debian. Is it just me? Maybe I'm just biased towards Debian. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
