I've started using PCLinuxOS, so I've got some experience with
Synaptic and I like it, especially when it goes through and tells you
what else has to be installed when you do an upgrade/install. It can
sit on top of urpmi (I think, since I can do manual installs that show
up in Synaptic also), so it makes a good add-on.

When the mandrake joined with Conectiva they will throw away the

Synaptic began to be adopted in debian systems, and these systems now
exceed the mandriva!
We should keep the center of control over the exchange through
Synaptic package manager and deploy a second interface for users with
less knowledge.
Not sure if I get what this thread is about. APT and Synaptic are in
Mandriva repos. I've used apt and synaptic in Mandriva, openSuSE, and
Fedora. In Mandriva I actually prefer rpmdrake but the choice is and has
been there since I started in Linux with Fedora Core 3. Whenever that
was. Given that is that it requires apt for rpm.
Does anyone really think there's a snowballs chance in New Orleans of
Mageia devs going to .deb packages? Not that there's anything wrong with
that...
