Never tried red carpet... I just installed it yesterday but dunno how to configure it. When I launch red-carpet I get a window where I should specify a server but I don't have any clue of what to use... suggestion welcome :)
Anyhow, I'm currently using apt on SuSE 9.0 and I'm really happy about it: when I do apt install <package name> it gets all the required additional packages that are needed, it highlight conflicts, suggests upgrade or removal, perform the installations, etc. and in addition with Synaptic I have a nice user GUI do do the same things.
What are the real advantages of red-carpet (or rug) versus apt?
Awhile ago, I tried APT and TOTALLY "bombed" by system! Now, it might have just been an odd-ball situation, I don't know. However, Red-Carpet IS a much more "polished" application with more command line options, I believe, if you want to use them. I've NOT had any problems yet. It's also a LOT more user friendly than APT with any frontend you can put on it. It IS the logical choice for SUSE to standardize on.
