God has listened to my prayers!! Debian and Fedora united! Yess!
This is *awesome* news. The new installer is definitely great stuff. But the best news, in my opinion, is Debian and Fedora going for a common repository! I think having so many different packages is a BAD thing for Linux. It would make everything more easy if we would all use a single package.
I would love to see Fedora using .DEBs, but i think that'll be hard to happen... this is what i think they should do: drop DEB, drop RPM, create a new one (DFPM - Debian and Fedora Package Managment), or use autopackage!
Ian, you rock!
Victor.
