I use apt regularly and generally get on better with it that yum (I find the apt frontend synaptic very good). I think most problems probably come from a poor choice of repositories to use with it, not apt-get itself. If you have conflicts you can run into problems, but then also I think with yum. > It's possible to do, but prepared to do some hacking to get things > working I suspect Not really any more than with yum though. With both you have to decide which repositories to use and in both cases edit some config files accordingly... Chris
