I'd start there. I'm sure many here will reply with their favorite repos

<pre wrap="">Doesn't simultaneous use of apt (for PlanetCCRMA) and yum (for the
rest) lead to some confusion of dependencies? I'm very new to rpm
based systems and I haven't figured yet what's exactly the devision of

<pre wrap=""><!---->Doesn't appear to. I loaded some Samba stuff yesterday using yum.
Checking in Synaptic this morning it all shows up so apparently they
use the same database.

Hmmm... I always thought that I had to do an update for apt or yum to
update the their respective dBs -- as in: when I use yum, I "yum
update" first so that if I previously used apt-get I would get the
latest RPM updates from the apt-get install.<br>

perhaps Synaptic does an "update" when it starts up. That would account
for it.<br>
