RPM & APT: Let’s get it right folks…

I’m sick and tired of all these articles commentaries I read where Debian users argue that apt-get is soo much better than RPM because of dependency resolution blah blah blah. Stop comparing apples and oranges!!! Let’s all say it together now:

deb is to RPM…
as apt-get is to yum

RPM is NOT a package management system. Is is a package format! Yum/up2date is a package management system…
