Just a quick warning for Fedora users, i have had experience and others too with apt breaking yum in Fedora Core. Still use apt though, excellent tool...

Thanks for the wealth of info in the tutorial on using "apt".I had recently been having a problem using the "Xandros Networks" package management utility.

I seem to have broken it rather good this time and was about to reinstall Xandros 3.0.1 Open Circulation Edition----again,when recalling the LXF 68 article "Upgrades" rang a bell.

I followed the advice and built a "sources.list" then did the "apt-get install synaptic" and have been using it now to keep up to date and also to install new "packages".

Keep up the good work!

Great magazine!
