I just installed Edgy on my laptop to solve issues I was having with Fedora. Fedora 5 didn't have the firmware for my wireless card and was too big a pain in the arse to fix.

I installed Edgy and absolutely love it. The issue is that I'm finding apt-get to be very disappointing. I loved yum on Fedora, as it would find any package I could want (once I added Livna). I can't get apt-get to do anything worthwhile. The most it's done is pull packages off the install CD.

Does anyone know of good repos to add to the list to bring it up to par with yum? It's really starting to tick me off.

I just used Synaptic to turn on Universe and Multiverse.
And remove the CD from the list - that is a serious PITA once you have a working system.

Quick search should find other useful repos.

You prefer yum to apt-get? o.o! You must have LOTS of free time.

No kidding..

apt-get is 10000x better than Yum...

Once you get the hang of adding repositories, etc, its gravy.

RPM is having big problems these days. All the package managers (Fedora, Suse, Mandriva, etc) are slooow and a pain to use. Debian based distros, as of now, have the best package management IMO out there.
