[nmglug] apt-rpm versus yum for Red Hat/fedora -- opinions?

[Will Pearson]

It depends. Apt-get and yum have their strong points and weak points.
Yum seems to be less bandwidth efficient than apt-get, but using yum is
more streamlined. Pro's and con's.

I use both because they pull from the same repositories.
