About APT Conectiva Linux 6.0 is the first Linux distribution in the RPM format in which APT is included. This tool makes the platform more consistent and easy to use. A simple command performs RPM software installation with all dependences resolved. Likewise, previously installed software can be easily upgraded. In the corporate environment, software upgrades are of significant importance where security is concerned.
System administrators can quickly and conveniently enhance their systems.
This avoids the manual correction of security gaps that usually leave the machines vulnerable to attacks from the outside. Alfredo Kojima was the developer responsible to bring APT technology to the RPM world, and the graphical desktop Window Maker.
