    well, the big drawback to redcarpet is all they're really doing is mirroring redhat's fedora packages, not really adding anything to the mix. (now, if there was ximian desktop with redcarpet, then i'd listen =]) so, what this equates to the user (but not technically) is a gui yum.

    if you install apt/synaptic, then you have the added advantage of getting all of the extra packages that other people have created for redhat.

    Time will end all my troubles, but I don't always approve of Time's methods.
