[Apt-Rpm] What is the best choice for RPM Update Tool

[Quan phongvan]

Thanks Ralf,
Maybe I made an mistake here, I've want to mention about that yum has a huge
developer resource behind it, and yum has leased the stable version compare
to testing version of apt and smart.
In addition, because of my target machine run on embedded RTOS Linux (CentOS
for demonstrating purpose only) so I hope to get your advices more specified
on embedded systems run on Linux using rpm packages system (hereunder RHEL
base).
Thank you,
Best regards,
Nguyen Anh Quan.
