Thanks everybody for your answers on
my Debian-Gentoo-Fedora email,
I think I am almost decided to upgrade to Fedora.
I have other question,
I have worked with rpm since the
old days of Red hat 6, now i
am a little confuse with Fedora,
I haven't installed yet, but i
have read that there is a command
'apt-get' , what is it ?
and what about yum ?
Can i keep usign rpm on Fedora Core 1 ?
rpm hasn't gone anywhere, it's still the basic workhorse of package
management in Fedora (and RHL and RHEL for that matter).
Yum, apt and up2date are smart frontends to rpm which resolve package
dependencies for you, can upgrade the whole system from one version to
another etc.

I often heard word "smart" about up2date. The example from reality: In
RH9 up2date downloaded new packages and offer KDE user to update system.
User answers - yes. After update system can't work and can't boot. I
don't know exactly what happened, but up2date tried to update glibc and
hanged on this - and this is normal because libc is used everywhere. Why
up2date is "smart" if it is so stupid to update glibc while KDE and a
lot of other applications are running?
