apt-get and dselect (i believe) are alright for some purposes. I did 
have more problems with apt-get pulling a working system by removing 
critical packages. Yum on the other hand fails with a dependably problem 
and fails.
The compiler language for apt-get seems to be quicker acting than the 
programming language that yum uses. The logic regarding upgrading is 
better in my view for the yum approach.
