  1. compare to debian by gmhowell · · Score: 3

    There was an Ask Slashdot yesterday wherein someone asked how apt-get compares to urpmi. One thing missing in the discussion was the serious number of debian sites and repositories. Why don't these exist for RH? Something like this would make the RPM based packages much better.

    Or perhaps they always were. I finally switched to Progeny the other day, being totally fed up with RPMs.
