Acronyms? You mean the package managers we were discussing?
yum Yellowdog Updater Modified - an automated RPM
management utility (works on all RH-based systems)
urpmi An RPM installation and management utility used by
Mandrake and Mandriva
smart Another cross-RH-distro RPM management utility
apt Advanced Packaging Tool - an automated .deb
manager originally written for dpkg (can work with RPM's, too)
up2date RedHat's original RPM and system update utility
dpkg The Debian PacKaGe system
And the packages themselves:
deb Debian pre-compiled software package
rpm Redhat Package Manager - a pre-compiled software
package for RedHat (and RH-based systems)
There are a bunch more, those are just what's been mentioned so
far in this thread.
So with that, you should be able to make the association when
reading about `apt-get` installation instructions, and be able to
figure out the intent of tools such as `deb2rpm` and `apt-rpm`.
