Have you tried apt-get recently. What's your opinion.

I have tried it and it broke my system. No idea what I did wrong, but I
needed to reinstall. You won't see me trying that again.
As it is now replaced by smart (since 1.5 year now or so) I don't think
it is a good time to start again.

As it
automatically checks for and retrieves any dependencies I think it is quite
efficient plus it has a clean interface....the command line.

I do not like that it updates stuff from external sites. And I sure did
not like that it ruined my system. The explanation on the website was an
utter mess and I also had some issues with signatures.
Everything was explained on the site, but it was just too much info
badly explained in a lousy layout.

I'll have to learn how to use rug. I see there are lots of options.

The second one is interesting. It explains why I don't have any issues
with zen. I don't use it. :-)
The disadvantage is that repo's added in one place won't be in another.

Also, just to let you know the reason I like apt-get so much is I don't have
to remember very much. If I know the name of a package I want I just
type 'apt-get install package-name'. That's it. You really couldn't make
it more simple than that !! Aptly named, wouldn't you say ??

On the command line I remember `yast -i package` and `rpm -e package`
