Now (Fedora) you can do this also with APT and YUM, personally - never liked up2date.
among the things that ALWAYS make me crazy in this GNU/Linux biz is:
- everyone is SHY to admin when an "opponent" does a good job and then adopt it.
For example let's talk about installation procedure.
Mandrake has since long time ago the possibility to SAVE in a floppy (but today it would be useful to be capable of saving also on USB sticks) the configuration & the packages one has choosen during install, and then automatize (?) the install procedure on other machine. This without setting up a "ghost" of the HD
SuSE, Mandrake & Debian have the possibility to CLEARLY set a LOCAL (on LAN) location to witch point their tools for installing packages.
This is very useful in places where you have at work a fast connection and at home no connection at all (or a very solow one ... 56kbps for example) .... one could make a nice cd-rw, copy it's content on a directory and then easily upgrade.
Now on Fedora the very weakness consist in it's package management ... which at home, with no connection is a pian in the ***beeep***
This is going to make me change a very fast and performing distro.
PS = why kpackage has been dismissed over the years by RH ? just for the sake of knowing
