I might have to have a play with apt. I've never really used it as I've never really had a decent play with a Debian box. Yum (and apt) is very cool. Being able to just setup "sources" and then go "yum install firefox" is very nice
However it's not perfect. I know this is not really the fault of apt but if you have to mix'n'match sources (eg stable+backports.org) to get more up to date versions of things then sometimes you find that the install succeeds but things don't work properly. Usually this is because the dependency list for one of the packages isn't correct. eg I just upgraded to kde 3.1 from testing and then couldn't log in using kdm, the problem turned out to be that I simply needed to upgrade libpam-runtime, but it took a while to figure that out. g -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
