Linux is progressing so fast, I must admit that my knowledge about "apt"
is probably totally out-of-date, and, thus, my prejudice against it is
unjustified.
With regard to yum headers, I have always been thinking about the idea
of making a tarball of all the downloaded headers/rpms once you have
done your first update, then copy and untar the tarball to a new machine
to save time. But since I don't have too many machines, this idea never
sees the light. wayne
