	I don't know, I've used both and haven't found anything I wanted to do
in apt that I couldn't do in yum.  Since both work nicely on Fedora I
can use either one (as well as up2date, if I wanted to).

	But this is getting way more OT than intended.  If there's anything you
want to continue in this thread feel free to email me directly.  Not for
flames but for discussion and education (in both directions).
