pacman, the file extension is .pkg.tbz2 but that is moot.

pkgtools and checkinstall.

Hooray source!

I like the idea of making your own binaries from source and then organizing them neatly into a package system.

At the moment:


openSUSE - Smart (or YAST if I have to)
Kanotix/Debian - Apt/Synaptic
Vector - Tgz/Slapt-Get
Gentoo - Portage

Also used pacman, yum and couple of others and I still prefer Apt by a mile, followed by Smart

Synaptic with PCLOS.

Nothing works as good as this combo in my experience so far.

E-mail a mod. I'm sure they can get your poll up.

checkinstall is a great program. I really liked it when I used slackware.

Report your thread/post and then ask for the mods to make a poll for you. Make sure you give them all the options you want to be included in the poll.
