So here's a question....since apt-get is a) faster than yum b) more powerful than yum (apt-pinning etc..) c) more mature than yum d) compatible with rpms (as seen in ydl3)
why don't more distros / yellowdog use apt as their main package management software? btw apt also works for slackware tgz packages Not a flame, just curious for the switch.
