There is a startup called Long Access http://www.longaccess.com/ that offers a long-term cloud storage using encrypted data and personal certificates for the encryption. The data stored is AES256 encrypted, and the certificates/keys needed for the decryption are in the user's posession. They recommend the safekeeping of a printout of the certificate that would likely be possible to read in 30 years time.

Take a look at their FAQ for more details.

Fedora Project to Help Revitalize RPM 334

Posted by CowboyNeal on Friday December 15, 2006 @04:48AM from the breathing-life-back-in dept.

-=Moridin=- writes "The Fedora Project has announced plans to revitalize RPM, the package manager used by many Linux distros. According to the announcement, 'Job #1 is to take the current RPM codebase and clean it up, and in doing so work with all the other people and groups who rely on RPM to build a first-rate upstream project.' For more information, see the the RPM web site and the new wiki-based RPM FAQ. The issue of RPM's upstream development has been a thorny issue ever since Jeff Johnson, the original maintainer of RPM, left Red Hat."

Fedora up2date supports apt and yum repositories just fine.

Since I have no experence in apt, I tried yum as more "rpm-oriented". It just works. I upgraded a couple of workstations through 2 betas to Fedora Core 1 using only yum. (Forgot all about entitlements and registrations in rhn).
