I'm really not trying to beat a dead horse here, but I should point out
that synaptic, a GUI front-end for apt-get, runs nicely with apt for rpm
on Red Hat Linux. It even uses the nifty userhelper stuff to pop up a
root password dialog, just like the native redhat-config-* tools. The
title bar does still say "synaptic for Debian" though which is
confusing. :-) Synaptic uses Gnome libraries and has a lot of neat
options.
For those who already have apt for RPM installed, give it a try
("apt-get install synaptic") and see if you think it beats
redhat-config-packages or not ;-)
--Jeremy, with kudos to the Connectiva folks who port apt and synaptic
to RPM from the Debian versions.
