It is actualy called 'urpmi' , and works as close to apt as it can be done 
with rpms. Yes, it solves dependencies. Yes, you can use remote RPM 
repositories. Yes, it works at the command line *and* with a nice GUI if you 
want. Yes, I like it :)

I also support everything else that Tanner says, about Debian and Mandrake 
being closer that you might think.
