Ok, I'm getting really offtopic now ... I see the advantages of 
current/up2date, especially the potential (of the direction it is taking).

I'm just not convinced that I could use it in a production environment for
now.
(The fact that it doesn't work with the current beta release of Red Hat
Linux doesn't make it better ... other tools (eg. apt-get) are already
able to deal with that.)

Q: I'm reading about yum (which I don't know at all) and other tools
here.
Could anyone provide a short synopsis? So far we're using apt-get and are 
rather satisfied (but, again, I think that current has a greater 
potential). What about the other tools, is there any web site that
provides some sort of roundup?


Thanks,
Michael
