The difference between apt and yum > is that ... hummmm...Good question. using "yum install ..." you add packages that are not in your system or update to a new version if you have one already (it will ask you if you want to upgrade it). Both take care of dependencies, both can be configured to use whatever repositories you want... And so on... IMHO it is a matter of taste, or faith since I have seen many comments on crashes of respositories (on both yum and apt). I think you are safe using either one. Glad to be of help! Saludos, Arturo
