Apples to oranges

Although I disagree with the impressions of Red Hat's administration tools, they're not unique in part because Red Hat makes them freely available, source and all, for anyone to use in other distributions. SUSE doesn't do that with YAST. As for the apt-get/.deb propaganda, RPM isn't comparable because it doesn't do the same thing. It manages packages, period. If you want the automatic dependency fulfillment and seemless downloading abilities, check out up2date in Fedora Core 1 (better yet, what'll be in 2).

Return to Red Hat or SUSE for the enterprise? Hint: Bet the chameleon
