Just think of Meego as the name of a really cute Japanese girl. It helps. :D

Must be really long time ago. :-)

Basically rpm tool itself is parallel to dpkg without either apt nor dselect. Try to use dpkg like that and you will understand. The only thing was that front-end to rpm was not immediately developed. However in this century all distributions with rpm has front-end / dependency resolver to rpm; Fedora / Red Hat, Suse, and Yellow Dog have Yum, Mandriva has urpm*, PCLinuxOS and ALT Linux use apt-rpm.

Yum is commonly used for point upgrade (such as from Red Hat 5.3 to 5.4). For Red Hat since big version upgrade happens quite rare, whether Yum can do version upgrade is not very big deal.

Fedora are having what they called "PreUpgrade" for version upgrade, in which after downloading the packages, control is transferred to Anaconda (its installer agent) to actually execute the upgrade.

I believe anything will be slow given enough number or stuff. :-) But Yum is written in Python instead of binary code. May contribute to its slowness.

Agreed. One thing that people sometime missed is that .deb format / dpkg tools are mostly used in one family of Linux distribution, i.e. Debian and its derivatives. In contrast, rpm format and tools are used in many major distributions which are derivatives of any single distributions, e.g. Red Hat, SUSE, Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, etc. Therefore if you try to get rpm files and install them without checking each rpm file what distribution it for, you will get quite a mess.

Seriously, I would love that :cool:
My vote is in as well! Although it may be difficult to make something that have antennas in place of eyes cute. :-)

SOMEBODY at Nokia thinks MeeGo will run on the N900, the MeeGo site front page (http://meego.com) clearly shows a user holding an N900.
