APT and Synaptic for Fedora Core 2 Test 2
I've felt a bit lost over the past couple of weeks without APT and Synaptic. While Mandrake's RPM update tool, URPMI, is a nice piece of software, I honestly feel that APT and Synaptic are just way out of its league.
Since I installed Fedora Core 2 Test 2, which has been awesome might I add, I've been looking for a compatable version of APT and Synaptic. I found it today at FreshRPMS.net. Here's the link:

Now, I found that in order to install APT and Synaptic, you need to actually download all of the packages from the FreshRPMs site. I tried initially to download just APT and install Synaptic from the terminal, but it gave me all kinds of dependancy issues. Instead, I installed Synaptic from the RPMs manually, and everything worked just fine. As a matter of fact, I just finished with some software updates that I've been wanting to do for a while now.
Man, I've missed Synaptic.
