Hi Ritesh,
the only thing that need be said is "RPM" based distros
(susu,redhat,mandrake,...).
"rpm hell" is STILL a term spoken by those who use them.
yum, urpm, apt-rpm are helping make it less painful but still there are
things to iron out. Also, may of the more informed debian folks point to
the rpm specification that is less usefull then the deb specification.
also, dpkg is the cloest to rpm in terms of funtionality.
apt-get is the 'closest' to up2date but barely.
synaptic is maybe close to red carpet.
