Bad mouthing Fedora

Ok, you don't like Fedora but you don't have to badmouth it. I don't
prefer Gentoo but I don't bad mouth it.

Regarding RPM dependancies, up2date has always understood dependancies and
downloaded needed packages. yum, which is part of Fedora, does too. Both
are pretty close to Debian's apt-get... and of course, if you want, you
can find apt for Fedora.

rpm doesn't support automatic dependancy resolution but since it isn't the
only package admin tool, that isn't a problem.

As is obvious, no distro is for everyone and it is all about personal
preference. It has taken some time to convert Red Hat Linux into a
community support Fedora and speed bumps were expected... but over all,
I'm rather impressed with the quality of Fedora and its rapid development.
