Since you are so interested, what I wanted to do is compare packages,
using creative greping and regexps to find what packages Fedora
includes that Ubuntu does not, and vice versa, after stripping the
lists of version numbers.

The plan was also to have some programming fun parsing such lists with
a Java program built using NetRexx.

But 19 messages after the original post, I´m still answering why I
want to obtain such list, instead of saying ´thank you´ to whoever
might have provided it.

I´ll now have to wait until I get the power supply of my F17 box back
(an Opteron 2216), to boot F17 and do it myself.

I´m stuck in the meantime with a netbook running winblows.
