Re:apt-get vs. urpmi

I've used Connectiva's apt-get for RPM. Apart from the fact that it seems to be much slower than apt-get on the same hardware, the main difference is the care that the Debian developers put into defining and managing package dependencies. You can upgrade from one release to another with very high confidence that it will "just work".
