Subject: Package management on ReadHat
Hi,

Maybe 8 or 10 years ago I moved away from RedHat to Debian because package management with RPM could be a lot of work.  Where as apt-get resolved almost all package dependencies.   At least that is how I recall it.

Today I am supporting several LAMP servers.  2 run CentOS and 1 runs RHEL. 

Given this, has RPM matured to the point it works like apt-get or yum where it automatically resolves dependencies? 

I do not want to start a flame war here, just want to educate myself.  Which is better?  Yum or RPM?

Thanks in advance for your insight!
