that rocks.  Does Yum support resolving local packages's dependencies 
with remote repositories yet?  Yum is so much more compact then apt-get, 
and I really like that it uses rpm-lib instead of dumping all the rpms 
into one giant and ass-ugly --nodeps system call.

Also, eventually system-config-packages will probably be better or as 
good as synaptic.
