Yes, while I haven't tried Yum yet apt-get has the advantage over up2date in that it makes it easier to install new packages, and it can resume stalled downloads, which IIRC up2date, can't. A combination of up2date, for delivering patches and fixes, and apt-get, for installing newly available packages, would be ideal. -- James jamesk[at]homeric[dot]co[dot]uk "Chivalry is for those wearing Kevlar" - Kincaid on #afp
