Linux package Management Quick query table

Using a Linux system is always free of contact with package management tools. For example, Debian/Ubuntu apt, openSUSE zypp, Fedora yum, Mandriva urpmi, Slackware slackpkg, Archlinux pacman, Gentoo emerge, Foresight conary, Pardus pisi, and so on. DistroWatch summarizes the main usage of the above Package Manager and has a good reference for Linux users. There are still a few shortcomings in this summary. I will organize a more comprehensive version for you.
