Conectiva Linux http://en.conectiva.com/ has had the capability of doing apt
with RPM for a couple of years.  It was a pretty cool idea, but at the time
I tried it a couple of years ago there were not a lot of packages available
at the time.  What little I played with it was pretty good, it did exactly
what was advertised let you use apt-get to download/install packages.

Does anybody on the list use Conectiva?  It is a very nice Redhat based
distro particullary if you speak spanish or portugese as your first
language.

Regards,

Aaron
