In my opinion should every Linux distribution use apt-get or a port of it for their package system. There is nothing as easy as installing packages by apt-get or searchin with apt-cache. I saw the apt-get port for RPM for RedHat from Connectiva. I was sitting on a RedHat, and for the first look, it felt like a debian.... but only for the first look. But hey, it is a beginning. But there are something, what should be solved. RPM!=RPM, so I don't know, what about using apt-get with SuSE/Mandrake ... :) Regards Jan -- .''`.
