The yum stuff is missing parts...

Use some magic to fix broken dependencies in a system: yum distro-sync or yum check and decide.

Remove dependencies that are no longer needed: package-cleanup --orphans

Downloads the corresponding source package(s) to the given package name(s): yumdownloader --source PACKAGENAME

etc.

If you think something is missing feel free to add it =)

And regarding the speed, well I got a server under Archlinux et another one under Debian, they have the same age (around 1 year ago, when squeeze come out) and pacman is more more quicker!
