That was a long reply to someone who probably didn't mean for it to
be technically in the kernel.
Jim, if you meant why isn't it in the core distribution... that's a
good question. I thought Fedora Core 2 included apt in it, but core
3 doesn't appear to. For some reason they seem to favor yum, which
I stopped using after about 5 minutes of seeing how slow it was
compared to apt (plus, I don't know if they have a GUI yet). I
think up2date supports both apt and yum.
yes, there is a gui for yum, named yumi. I wonder why... Its also
probably not quite uptodate with the latest fc3 version of yum unless
its been brought uptodate without any sounding of the hearalding
horns.
