^^ Agreed.... I hate to wait for YUM or YaST2 to start up, apt is far faster than that.

yeah.. apt has been a debian strongpoint since long. but its good to see that yum and yast2 are catching up. there were days when package management was a headache in red hat......
i believe apt is the best package management tool across any platform and os!

i think everyone should accept one standard, either deb or rpm. it'll be helpful for the users too.

I found it sharp edged as compared to fedora 7 beta 1's default theme.

whatever packaging tool we adopt hardly matters. RPM can be converted to DEB(via alien) and DEB TO RPM (by one method which I dont remember)
though this is not a sure shot method to make softwares work, it can prove useful for some select softwares.
I like Ubuntu's ease of use and Fedora's customisability. Both rule in my opinion.

Not a nice idea. And the package manager does matter, people get used to the way of working of the package manager and it's features. One example I remember being discussed in a mailing list was that rpm uses best effort method, so when you upgrade your old files are already gone and if new files fail to install your system is in inconsistent state. Whereas deb's rather install the upgrade first and if it fails then revert back.saurabh.sauron said:

I think Ubuntu 7.04 is the best destro. I m currently using it. And it is very user friendly and faster than any other. Obviously it is not more advanced like SUSE or other. It is for new linux user like me.
And guys whats your opinion about Gentoo 2007. I didn't used it. I want to use it once.

If you find suse advanced, you will find gentoo as something out of bounds. Don't go for gentoo unless you want to learn more and are willing to spend time on reading docuemnts, gentoo has the best documents I have ever seen of any distro, and for compiling everything from source.

Well, you have an option to chose what to install. By default, yes it installs the default packages, not the entire list.
Infact, for me, I was wondering what Ubuntu had in it's mind when I started installing and never saw software selection screen.
It's a matter of personal opinion.
