This article is kind of a follow-up to my first Fedora Core 2 review, published on OSNews in May.

Package Management: APT for RPM

I have been a big fan of apt4rpm ever since I worked at Conectiva (the guys who created the thing). Managing Red Hat and Fedora servers without it would be a PITA. Sadly, I see lots of people who don't know about it, or know, but don't use it to its fullest. So, here's a few tips...
