Linspire As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising Lindows 4.0.

I continue to be baffled as to why people can't do a simple apt-get <packagename>. And if they don't know the packagename, what's so difficult about apt-cache search <keyword>?

Before I found apt for rpm, it might have been a bit challenging to install rpms, if you didn't pay attention to the prerequisites.

Apt is so simple and useful, why doesn't RedHat include it in their distro? Will we get a chance to have a say with the new RHL project?
