xfce last night and found there were over 500 updates and this seemed to

updating. It would seem to me that yum is a more complex app and thus
could take longer.
I did a google last night and noticed that some folk install
apt/synaptic for package management - has anyone done that? any problems
(because i'm about to try!).
The rpm port of apt (and synaptic) you see in Fedora is for all
practical purposes dead and doesn't really even work these days. Dont
bother with them, learn yum & related tools instead if you intend to
stick with Fedora.
