I think if Fedora can get yum straightened out, make is faster (it *can* 
be done, you know, apt is faster), make it more featureful and stable 
and make sure that all rpms conform to one format so that rpms from 
different repositories do not conflict, then Fedora would be *much* 
improved. BTW, I must also point out that yum is quite improved from its 
FC2 days though -- good work there.
