One is supported by TerraSoft, and the other not, for one :-)
My package (the freshrpms.net one) is a more recent version, has a patch to
disable digest on regular operations (thus is a bit faster) and has a
configuration that defaults to using the YDL mirror on ayo.freshrpms.net as
well as my extra packages there.

My package is actually the same as the one many people are using for Red
Hat Linux 9 (ix86), so it's pretty well tested and should be safe to use.
There is also the latest version of "synaptic" to go with it ;-)
