"In this short tutorial I will show how to install and use Debian's package manager apt on various rpm-based distributions like Fedora, Mandrake (or Mandriva, they changed their name...), RedHat, SUSE, and Yellow Dog Linux. apt for rpm is also known as apt4rpm, or aptrpm.
"Why do I want to use apt instead of rpm? The answer is easy: apt cares much better for package dependencies than rpm (apt resolves all dependencies by itself!) and saves me a lot of trouble and time. It lets me install, remove or upgrade packages with just a single command, and I can even update my whole Linux distribution to a new release...!"
