The main problem with fedora is that yum sucks so badly. It's absurdly slow and the interface is goofy. What's up with needing a separate tool like repoquery?

Also, why is it necessary to update the kernel twice a week? And why isn't VirtualBox a core package?
- oinksoft 13y agoYum seems a little faster than apt-get/aptitude to me. Do you have the yum cache enabled? Yum normally downloads its package lists for every command, but you can make it cache the package list like apt-get does.
- a8da6b0c91d 13y agoEven using the cache it's annoyingly slow compared to Arch's pacman. Various repoquery commands take near a minute to run whereas pacman is instantaneous. I'd guess the Python and SQLite approach are to blame.
