Maro ireo kirakira azo ampiasaina araky ny distribution Linux mba:
  hametrahana ny package
  hitantanana tsara ny package ampiasaina
  tsy hanapahana ny zavatra ilain’ny package iray
  tsy hisian’ny fifandonana mety misy eo @ version package na package 2 na maro samihafa
  hanaovana "mise �jour" tanteraka ny distribution

Ity lahatsoaratra ity dia mampahafantatra fotsiny ihany ireo "package Manager" sy ny toerana mety ahitana packages maro.

apt-rpm

apt-get teny am-piandohana dia azo ampiasaina @ Debian ihany. Ny distribution Conectiva dia namboatra ny apt-get ho azo ampiasaina @ rpm.

Ankehitriny izany dia afaka mampiasa apt ireo distribution izay mampiasa rpm (Redhat/Fedora,Mandrake, Suse ...sns...)

yum

yum dia mitovy asa @ apt-get sy urpmi. Yum dia navoaka niaraka @ Yellow Dog izay Distribution miodina @ PPC. Ankehitriny dia Redhat / Fedora no mampiasa betsaka an’i yum @ ireo distrib x86.

Fampitandremana

Ny fampiasana package tsy ofisialy dia mila fitandremana. Eo @ lafiny "securit�: mila jerena ny sonia pgp ny’ny package raha mitovy @ lazain’ny mpanamboatra azy. Ary raha mitovy dia mahatoky ilay mpanamboatra ilay package ve enao?
