Since Anjuta is in the Fedora Extras repository you might have to enable that first (i.e. add "--enablerepo=extras" to the previous yum command line) Actually, I just tried it. It worked fine:
# yum install anjuta -removed a lot of yum output-
The decision to bring back RPM just goes to show what good work they are doing. You do realize that rpm is one of the most used package formats in the Linux world, right? They're not trying to "bring it back", but to "make it better".
But the larger point to all this is the lack of cooperation and standards in the open source community. RPM is in the LSB, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base
Btw. I'm writing this on a FC6 box, no problems here:)
The situation with yum seems to be that rpm is in the THB (too hard basket) and they are writing a wrapper to hide the problem. rpm has no concept of repositories. It's main task is to install/remove/query/verify/etc rpm packages. Yum and others handles repositories and dependency solving.
As a previous poster has already pointed out, apt is not comparable to rpm. Apt is comparable to yum, apt-rpm, yast etc., they take care of the dependencies for you. It's been like that for quite a few years now.
rpm is two things: a package format (.rpm) and a command line tool. Sort of like.deb and dpkg.
What (public) sites still require IE nowadays? I've stumbled on the odd old restaurant homepage that requires IE and weird plugins, but apart from that most stuff seems to work in FF. In fact IE(6) seems to render some sites badly, from what my wife tells me (she runs FF, but sometimes happens to start up IE).
Now if only flash (9) would work properly on x86_64 and linux I would be happy. Even more so if gnash could take care of the flash.
Forget them lottery balls. They are too small. Horses are ok, but here in Sweden we have mooses (slightly bigger). You should get hold of bigger animals that could be used as both entertainment and food and push them as the choice of a new online/burger generation.
Tape the phone to your head. If it's small enough no one will notice. Within a few weeks of training you'll be able to control the phone with your ear (lobe).
Download speeds can be really good, but upload speeds almost always suck. ADSL has set the ugly standard of asymetric bandwidth. It's designed for consumers only, not creators/sharers.
Most of the time I don't even have the time to watch/listento/read whatever I could download through a 2Mbps line. But I have loads of people wanting stuff from me at any given moment.
That's why I went withh 23 down, 8 up. It's still not really enough though.
My point is that 24Mbps/768kbps is ridiculous. I'd rather have 2/2Mbps.
DVDShrink works perfectly fine on linux + wine. Just soft-link your dvd-device. (DVDDecrypter dosn't shrink, so vobcopy would be equivalent.). Probably the other two too.
Gmail works perfectly fine. Just tried it on my 770. Battery time is quite good. If you are listening to streaming radio through the WiFi connection it lasts just over three hours (the built in speaker is better than I imagined, but far from HiFi, with earphones it sounds very good). If you're not connected/downloading stuff all the time it lasts much longer.
I've had mine for a little more than a week now (It was released earier i selected countries in Europe). I'm very happy with it. It means I can travel without my Thinkpad and not having to worry about reaching "my" servers in a secure fashion when I need to.
This sounds moderately interesting. Please let us^h^h me know if it ever "takes off".
In the meantime you'd probably like to consider connecting to our international network called MSN and divulge more of your "ideas". With a cheap modem you can reach thousands of users in our moderated chat groups. You can even look at many companies pictures of their products!
OpenZaurus just released version 3.5.3. I'm running it on my SL-6000L and I'm quite happy with it.
Compared to the original ROM, it's a heaven of flexibility.
Getting you in real trouble for surfing the web/clicking on politically incorrect links? Man, you seem to live in a very sucky country.
Face it, surfing the web for whatever is no excuse for getting anyone into any kind of trouble, unless of course you are at work, with a fascist management.
Dependencies are handled much the same way as with.debs. You can use apt, yum, up2date or red-carpet for automatic resolving/retreiving.
I doubt that Red Hat will change to another package manager in the foreseeable future. If something needs to be implemented, they'll change the rpm application/behaviour (as has been done numerous times).
It replaces packages through rpm. I've upgraded machines since at least RH7 up to FC3 both by CD and by using apt/yum/up2date. No user data is ever deleted.
Usually there are some small stuff that needs to be manually fixed, but it's hardly surprising since there are a few major changes in some upgrades (like SELinux, 2.6 kernel, udev and so on).
Show the admin a legitimate need for BitTorrent use. Complain if they don't fix it. It might not solve the problem straight away, but if many people do the same thing, they'll probably reconsider sooner or later.

That's one of the things a lot of people miss.

They work just fine with mplayer (and in-browser with mozplugger)

I believe calendar and PIM stuff will be available soon (as third party add ons). You can already find some stuff here: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog

To me it seems like they're treating a country like it's a company.
You can shake off bad business most of the time.
Except people tend to die.
Nope, you are mistaken. Red Hat has backported NPTL to the 2.4.x kernel.
The makers of the series refute that:

Dear Mr Andressen,
This sounds moderately interesting. Please let us^h^h me know if it ever "takes off".
In the meantime you'd probably like to consider connecting to our international network called MSN and divulge more of your "ideas". With a cheap modem you can reach thousands of users in our moderated chat groups. You can even look at many companies pictures of their products!
All this for only $19.99 a month!

Shipping NTFS and MP3 is encumbered with legal problems, that's why they're not included by default. Google can tell you that within seconds.

Wrong. The upgrade path is by burning a CD/DVD and selecting "upgrade". You can also upgrade through yum or up2date, but it's not supported.
What kind of hardware are you using? I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Red Hat certified IBM servers, and I'm quite happy.

Nat Friedman wrote about speech recognition in his blog today. Some interesting thoughts there.
