I think the idea has bean raised there is conflicting advice regarding yum, 
up2date and apt-get working together some people have told me there isnt a 
problem apart from having three cache files which can get very large while 
others state that on no account should all three be run at the same time.

With this Dell Laptop I used up2date for the first two days then yum for about 
a week then, and from now on, I'm using apt-get with Synaptic front end I 
only had one problem when I enabled ATrpms it wanted to install stuff that 
was already there?
