  1. apt4rpm by stedo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Does Fedora Core 4 still use yum or will it move to apt4rpm? I don't mean to flame the yummers, but in my experience, apt4rpm is far better. And, in terms of GUIs, Synaptic works far better than gyum or yumex. Also, does it have NTFS support out of the box? That seemed to be the biggest complaint about FC3, that anyone dual-booting had to download the kernel module, realise you had downloaded the wrong module, check kernel version, download the right module, and finally modprobe it.

  2. Re:handling of 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit system by Per+Bothner · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IIRC, I did try out an Emacs that I had compiled on 32-bit FC3, as also Sun's 32-bit JDK 1.4. Both seemed to work fine without needing to do anything special on a test install of 64-bit FC4.
