Hello. I'm using FC3 and now thinking about to swith to Ubuntu 5.04
The main reason I worry about is software repository. In FC3 I use apt4rpm and about 5 repositories (freshrpms, DAG, newrpms, at, dries). I want to use this repositories in my Ubuntu. Is it possible?

Thanks

Short answer is no. Ubuntu is a Debian based distro - the files are .debs, Red Hat uses .rpms. However, the Debian repositories (and, by extension, the Ubuntu repositories) have a huge number of files in the repositories, so you should be able to find what you need.
