From my experience, if you don't need the advanced features of apt,
especially automatic source build, then urpmi is a better tool.
What I most sorely miss with urpmi is a decent search capability.
Something like 'apt-cache search' . When you have gigs of software oyu
can't generally expect to remember the names of all packages.
Oh, you mean - like urpmq ? also check out the large search box at the
top of the rpmdrake interface - you can't miss it :-)
Specificly regarding the current topic - I still consider software that
does not offer UI for configuration or at least a decent command line
tool, and forces you to edit configuration files by hand, to be inferior :-)
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
?
Not really - I was ranting of the inability to configure apt itself: you
either use the apt-config which is anoyingly unfriendly and/or you have
to edit source lists by hand. Please compare to competing products.
