Do any apt repositories exist for core 3 test 3 yet? Also, could somebody please tell me why it is that yum was selected for the default package upgrade mechanism? I would have expected there to have been many flame wars on this, but searching google only reveals a few offhand remarks. It seems to me if any kind of speed is desired, yum is broken by design. Keeping each package header in a separate file prevents TCP slow start from ever reaching the bandwidth of your link since a new connection must be established for each file. Hence a yum update can take ages, even on extremely fast internet connections. Is it possible for yum to download all headers in a single archive file to speed things up? -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
