First I would say this is perfect reason why to use Debian. :) However,
if you cant switch or are not willing to at this time, you might check
out:
http://alien.ath.cx/rpm-get/
RPM-Get claims to be an apt-get clone for rpm packaging. I have never
personally tried, but you may wish to.
There is also urpmi:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cooker/urpmi.html
I am not a Mandrake fan, but if you are you can try this.
I like Donn have always been lazy and used rpmfind, but I dont run RedHat
in many places anymore so its not too irrating to me.
If you try rpm-get let me know what you think of it.
