Hi all,

DistroWatch has been running a series on package management:

http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20081013#feature (3)
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20080929#feature (2)
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20080922#feature (1)

It's a follow-up to the earlier article about package GUIs:
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20080630#feature


I made an updated version that included the 6 major package
and channel formats that Smart supports (incl. slack / arch)
and fixed some typos and factual errors in the existing one
as well as added some rows that were not in the original...

It's available for apt/yum/zypp/urpmi/slapt-get/pacman/smart at:
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/smart/PackageManagementCheatSheet.pdf

Now, the interesting part about the Smart column is that you don't
really need the cheatsheet since most commands are easy to guess :-)
And of course the --help option is never far away when you need
some friendly reminders on the available options for the commands.
