What apt repository do you use?
Is it kept up to date w/ rh's updates?

How do you check the GPG sigs?

- for example:
'apt-get -d install kernel#<kernel-version>'

  just downloads the package w/o unpacking;

http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/

discusses this gpg, but I still seem boggled.

Would you mind spoon feeding me?

I'm used to:
lfwelty-laptop:rh80-18> rpm -K kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0.i686.rpm
kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0.i686.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK


Thanks,

F.
