RedHat does not have apt. apt was ported to support RPM long ago by
Connectiva. Now, you can manualy go and install apt on major RPM based
distros, like RedHat, SuSE and Mandrake. But, apt-rpm (as it is called)
does not enjoy the advantages that it enjoys in Debian. I used apt-rpm
when I had a RedHat 7.3 box, and it was completely useless. Because the
repositories are so small (again, because the original company does not
support it), that it is useless. Only a hanfull of applications, can
work with apt-rpm.
