I just want to use apt to update my systems and install new software. 
Everything I've read makes it sound very superior to just attempting it 
via rpm.

I didn't realize the freshrpms.net tool was different than apt-rpm. One 
more thing to look into.

Does apt preclude the continued use of RedHat's up2date tool?

Thanks,
