To be fair, APT is to YUM what DPKG is RPM.  Comparing APT to RPM is as
unfair as comparing YUM to DPKG.  (My goodness, that's a lot of

Yes, the programs are similar, but one of the key strengths in APT remains in the thousands of stable packages tested over years. Just thought that should be mentioned.
