Dear Jean-seb,<br>It's so nice for me to hear that from you. If you don't mind, can you give me more advices for my issues:<br>1. For your mentioned RHEL clone that you used on your embedded system, Does it have yum as RPM packages management systems. If yes, can apt-rpm beats yum as a update tool?
<br>2. As you mentioned "apt is faster than light , and it don't need python; so the memory it use is not a big issue.", I think apt-rpm has a big dependency list (especially when I compiled apt-rpm from source code, it required a lot of packages such as: beecrypt, zlib,...). About python, does it really become
the most biggest obstacle for yum or even smartpm (an update tool for RPM packages similar to yum and apt-rpm).<br>3. In addition, can you give more details why did you mention about HP Server ProLiant in: "it is faster that the same version in Proliant Servers ! (maybe because /var is in ram?)".
<br>Hope to receive your advice soon,<br>Best regards,<br>Nguyen Anh Quan.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 11, 2008 7:13 PM, jean-seb <<a href="mailto:jsh@interlug-fr.org" target="_blank">jsh@interlug-fr.org</a>
