What is your fave linux package manager?
I've tried apt-get, rpm, and urpmi.
Recently, I've tried the yellow dog update manager (yum). Based on the rpm, yum, as implied in its name, was firstly developed for the mac linux distribution, the Yellow Dog. The application was very cool, so then is was ported to a x86-based distribution. I'm using it with my freshly installed FC4.
The "auto search" is the most appreciated feature of yum. With this feature, if a network read error occured, then the program automatically, launched the same thing on others mirrors. This is so cool! I can't find this feature on apt-get and urpmi.
I was a die harder rpm fan. But because of this feature, I'm switching to yum. Bye... bye... dependency hells!:D
btw did you know that mirrors.playboy.com, is one of the 1st mirror FC4 yum looks?
hm........:D
