> Install apt-rpm, you'll appriciate it
Heh... a little while ago I set up Mandrake 8.2 (? whatever's latest) on
my laptop because at the time I didn't have woody CDs at home and I
wanted to test out the hardware before I bought it. Anyway, being a
debian user I immediately thought "arrggh, must have apt" and ran:
apt-get install apt-rpm
before even thinking. This was followed by the sound of grinding
teeth... especially when all attempts at using Mandrake's GUI
update/install util failed miserably.
Anyway, an amusing (at least to me) reminder of just how used one gets
to having _something_ _else_ handle package deps and downloads.
