What are the real advantages of red-carpet (or

Awhile ago, I tried APT and TOTALLY "bombed" by system!
I don't want to start a flame war here, but your statements seems to me quite vague here... can you add some more meat?
For one, APT installed a kernel that wasn't for this box as an update.....really messed things up.
Aren't dependencies responsibility of RPM systems? How can be apt (or red carpet) fault if some packages conflict?
Or does red-carpet add some additional controls ON TOP OF the RPMs ones?
For one, it also provides a "go back" feature, which I'm sure some have or will find VERY usefull.
Can you be more specific of what exactly you mean with totally bombed system? what was your issue?
