apt-rpm so far, but it's certainly because I already know how to use
apt-get.  I have a vague idea that one would be better off using yum in
Red Hat-derived boxes, but I don't know where that came from.

To contradict that, I offer: I was attempting to move a box from 7.3
(via RH 8.0 and RH 9) to Fedora, and I tried using yum.  I quickly got
stuck (probably operator error, but it wouldn't install some packages
that were needed) and resorted to apt-rpm and was able to get it done.
