Troll bait

I was poking around last night on a RedHat box.  There appears to be nothing to
match the Mandrake 'urpmi' application.  'urpmi' does all of the cool stuff
that apt-get is supposed to do.  It will pull all of the dependancies when it
gets a package.  This is pretty cool and neatly defeats a lot of the criticisms
about package management.  After wonking around with apt-get on Sunday, I get a
much better appreciation for urpmi.

In Mandrakeland, the graphical package manager uses 'urpmi' when you install
stuff so it gains the benefit of the auto dependancy stuff.

Hey, Peter... It isn't in RedHat :-P

Cheers!

Bob
