I used Fedora way, way back, but YUM is pretty annoying.
If you try to install all the YUM upgrades, YUM may break down.
If you do not install the upgrades, YUM is pretty slow.

I think yum is fantastic. It's nice and clean, and I don't find it to be any slower or faster than apt. Never had a problem with it.
Best thread everCode:while true; do echo -n "RiceMonster "; done
From my experience yum is something that works............. partially.
The real problem is that the deamon must have a lock which means that refreshing up the repos can only be done when only 1 client is doing it at the time. The problem with this is due several badly written programs who needs to have a lock before starting, which is the opposite of example: Synapitc, where the lock is done on attemting to upgrade.
Yum real problem is that the manual is poorly written, and the apps using it.
Yum is slow................
YUM should be renamed YUK
I didn't used to think YUM was that bad, but recently I tried Fedora 13 and updating took forever with YUM. Maybe it'll get better when it's actually released.
i never really liked yum tbh. its much better than something like equo/entropy/whatever they call it (sabayons binary package manager) though. can you imagine waiting 2-3 hours to update your system from a fresh install?
YUM is actually one of the few things I really miss from Fedora. The command line tools are so well designed and easy to use compared to apt-get.
