Could be, but I'm tired of the "rpm equivals apt-get" comparison.
Sorry if I complicate things, but I felt they were oversimplified. I
meant that up2date and YAST are equivalent to apt-get in that they
have a similar philosophy, and try to cover more or less the same
feature range. Quality of the implementations will be a discussion for
another time.
