I went in to work yesterday and since I didn't have a client assignment, I started doing stuff I found useful (hopefully others will too. ;-)
I found an old Win2K machine and brought up Fedora Core 2 from the ISO images I'd burned a while ago. Then with the wonderful yum.conf from the Fedora FAQs, bringing everything up to speed was just a matter of typing yum update. I haven't used a tool like yum before, and I'm very impressed. All updates should be this easy. It even updated my kernel correctly.

I need to point out as well that Mandrakelinux has urpmi. Which is a little bit mature than yum. In my very biased opinion (as I'm the maintainer of urpmi)Re:And it only took RH 10 years

I used to use urpmi when I had a Mandrake box, which was many moons ago. Back then I didn't like the user interface, but I haven't seen the new versions.
Notice I didn't say anything about apt or urpmi. Just because I praise one system doesn't mean I'm putting the others down.
