I find aptitude and yast2 quite similar, and am impressed by both.  If
SuSe still supported PowerPC I would have seriously looked at them.  One
thing I particularly like in Debian's aptitude is support for regular
expressions in the package search feature, i.e. '^mysql' only shows
packages whose names begin with mysql, whereas 'mysql' shows anything
containing mysql, etc.
