I am and I still say it. > Lo and behold, all those packages come down and get installed along with > any dependencies. And, it aint slow (anymore). It is for me. I haven't tried apt4rpm on Cedora Fore yet, but I have FC3 and FC4 at home, and apt-get update and apt-cache search is WAY faster than 'yum search' using the same repositories. Especially if it's been a week or 2 and there are lots of updates. I'm talking 10-15 minutes with yum on FC4, seconds on FC3 with apt4rpm. I like the features of yum, but it updates headers slower for me.
