I know this may come as a shock for some debianists ;), but you can use an apt-rpm, a port of the Debian apt tool to rpm, which actually works just as great as apt in Debian:Hi Henry,

I hear what you say a lot, and I'm afraid that the people who say that miss out on the real power behind APT. It is not, contrary to what people think, that ability to download a package and all of it's dependancies with one command. As you may know, up2date does that too, as well as Mandrake's drakconf (I think).
The real power behind APT on debian does not lie within the apt-get mechanism. The real power is the high diversity, quality and reliability of the packages offered from the debian project. Your ability to choose between state of the art top of the line latest packages on the sid branch, or extremely reliable, won't break your existing config on stable, is what makes debian such a strong offering, and unfortunetly, unique.
You can get APT, but that's still not half the story.
