Hmmm. Precisely my point. I will stick with Debian, since everyone
else wants to emulate it.

Hmmm. I would dispute this. Apt is a Debian artifice. How can
something as new as Fedora make such a bold claim? I would argue apt
works best for what it was written for... a front end to dpkg. Of

a great thing to someone who hasn't used it for years.
