[NTLUG:Discuss] Debian vs Ubuntu vs (your hometown hero)

[Jack Snodgrass]

I've never been a 'rpm' fan, but I have to admit, doing 
yum upgrade 
on my Fedora Core FC3 box to upgrade to the lastest, 
released Fedora RPM files has really impressed me. 

I even updated my yum.conf file on my FC2 system, 
upgraded a few select packages first and then did 
a full 
yum upgrade 
and went from a FC2 system to a FC3 system. It 
went very smootly.
