"
If you've ever had experience with a Debian-based system, you know
that keeping a system updated is little more than a command away. The
Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) simplifies things immensely. Simply type
apt-get update to see what's new and apt-get install
package to get
it. Is a new version of your distribution out? Type apt-get
dist-upgrade, and you're on
your way. What many folks don't know is it is indeed possible to have the
best of both worlds. Thanks to the magic of free software and a
terrific team of Brazilian developers, you can use APT with your
RPM-based distribution."
