A lot of people on the list really like this smart pm thing.  

Getting tired of yum and not wanting to do the apt4rpm thing again I
went out to try this.

I installed smart, smart-update and smart-gui.  

OMG, it is soooo tight.

The gui interface is a bit obtuse but the performance is great even
over Synaptic and completely faster than gyum.

I did some test installs and removes.  Wow.  

The only slow part is the updating of the cache before and after but
overall I honestly believe the RH/Fedora folks should look into
dedicating some resources to making this the next generation package
management system for Fedora.

It is really that good imho.
