problems at installing apt

[Harry Hoffman]

Chun,

It sounds like you are fairly new to linux. You make want to stick with just 
Yum until you feel a bit more confident. It integrates nicely with the 
redhat/fedora updates whereas apt you really need to be careful of what you 
are doing (as it doesn't seen to be the package manager of choice).

HTH,
Harry
