Hello,
RedHat, Fedora, CentOS now use RPM, and Yum. Even AIX uses RPM for
OpenSource tools.
Debian and its children (Ubuntu, etc.) use dpkg, apt
SuSE uses YaST...
Gentoo uses portage/emerge
./configure; make; make install is still used by everyone!
The real question in my mind, is how many Business/Enterprise systems
are out there for every OS in use. I would base my choice of which to
include on that as well as how non-proprietary or singletons the tools
are. As well as how many other Operating Systems make use of the package
manager for installing open source tools.
Best regards,
Edward Haletky

Actually for clarification, I am saying "No" to having anything beyond
rpm, dpkg, and/or "make" (e.g., portage/emerge situation) on the
LPIC-1 for package management related questions.
I am saying "Yes" (BUT, do see above paragraph and comment) to if
"apt" then include "yum" scenario, but I stand by my above noted
comment still (yes, it is meant to be written twice for the emphasis
of my position).
if we were to split the package management layers, among two exams,
wouldn't it be more logical to have the higher level (emerge, apt*, yum)
in LPIC-1 and the lower level (ebuild, dpkg, rpm) in LPIC-2, instead of
the other way around?
