I'd like to update my 3 computers at home, so I want to setup some kind of local mirror of the latest RPMs (or anything that will avoid downloading them thrice). How easy is that with yum vs. apt-rpm?
More important, can I set up either of them to update from sites that don't support them directly? I currently use many third-party packages. If not, how good is the repository coverage for them? An ability to burn a snapshot of the latest RPMs to bring to somebody would be nice too. I tried installing Debian recently (shooting for unstable) and was disappointed to find I should install an year-old debian and update from there (I installed on a laptop where the old kernel didn't work with the PCMCIA network card, complicating the upgrade process infinitely). I like the attitude of debian unstable (or any other bleeding-edge distro) but they seem to have the disappointing attitude that the installer should only be released once in 1.5 years (there were contibuted weekly builds of recent CDs but they were unbootable)... I want some distro where I have a bleeding-edge installation easily preparable at any point of time. -- Beni Cherniavsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
