Seems like "redhat people" like YUM better, while "Debian people" like APT
better.. then again it was a rh based distro that ported APT.

APT supposedly did some dirty tricks with RPM in the past..
then again YUM seems to me infinitely slower than apt, and I like being
able to use the same tool on my debian and redhat machines.

But I couldn't use APT on rawhide last I checked, so the point is moot.
