I just wanted to ask one question as an interested user: Can anyone clarify if there is any problem with the apt system of package management, or are the issues with apt and rpm related to the current implementations? I've traditionally been biased toward Debian and it's derivatives, so I'm not the most impartial judge, but my experiences with Yum and Red Carpet have been horrific. Although I haven't used either in the past year or so, they were both been extreme resource hogs that took so much longer and did so much less than apt based systems. I'm just unclear why there are these different systems when it seems there would be a great advantage in leveraging the work that's been done in Debian.

The next major step would be that Novell/SUSE offers their "build host" infrastructure for all our contributors, and - just a rational consequence - a new central home at opensuse.org for all the apt4suse repositories we already have.
It would indeed be really really good if repositories will be hosted by opensuse. Mirrors will than copy the repositories and all the burden is devided over all the mirrors... Let's see how soon this will happen. I did
not expect to be talking about this, say... about a month ago!!
