Please note that Debian's and Ubuntu's recommended tool for package
management is now aptitude, not apt-get.
Also, being used to both Debian and Mandrive, I'm not sure how urpmi is
supposed to be that superior. I tend to prefer its command-line for
querying (urpmf vs apt-file, urpmq vs "aptitude whatever"), but that's
a matter of taste.
Also, in the end, what matters most is the quality of the packages
themselves.
Regards
Antoine.
