Urpmi

Parent article: RPM -- plans, goals, etc.

There's a great deal to like about Mandriva's URPM suite:
urpmi - install packages and deps [also allows tab-completion on pkgname]
urpme - remove
urpmq - query
urpmf - what package do I need to install to get file /usr/lib/foo ?

It's very similar to apt in what it does.

I second this, Mandriva's URPM is very nice. I have had less trouble with URPM than yum or apt.
