[NTLUG:Discuss] Bob Young's Statement to Slashdot

[Randall Gibson]

	Guess my ignorance shows through on that comment. I assumed that
being RPM based made it Red-Hat based.  Yast may have been a "good" tool as
far as RPM's may go,  but its policy's were hard for me to deal with. Guess
I have been spoiled by dpkg and dselect (Yes, I am one of the few that
actually like dselect)
	Just like all "opinions" this is just mine, and that doesnt make it
right, unless you like RH7 :)
