Someone needs to put together a comprehensive equivilents page for rpm/yum and dpkg/apt for those who only know one system and have to administer the other on occasion. I've seen simple charts that say apt-get install is equal to yum install etc.. but what I want is a long list of equivalents between rpm and apt so that when I need to get a list of files in a certain package I can look for rpm -ql on the list and it will tell me the equivalent in APT/deb.. That would be handy.
