They're just different programs, and yum lag is to be expected as it is maturing at the moment while APT has been out for a long time. yum has quite a bit of features that APT doesn't and vice versa.. As far as a rpm-based distro though I'd stick with yum. -- Rodney "meff" Gordon II -+- meff <at> pobox <dot> com
