[NTLUG:Discuss] Failed Dependacies

[Michael Collins]

No, but Conectiva has taken it one step further with the use of Debians 
apt and apt-get..  Never worry about dependencies again and you don't 
have to run a .deb based distro.  Conectiva is just like RedHat <sept it 
works hehe> but it updates, upgrades and installs like Debian.


You will wonder why no one else thought of it.
