The Apt that Red Hat distributes is a bastardized corrupted one that works with RPM packages, IIRC. apt-rpm doesn't work well from my experience, and is all in all a pretty pathetic excuse for playing catchup with the real world if I ever saw one. The apt you are looking for won't work with Red Hat. > I also heard that debian has more packages than redhat. Is it correct? Yes.
