yes, but rh+apt-get is still crappy compared to debian.

I think this is down to people attributing all of debians package installation nice-ness to apt-get, but in fact it's the package maintainers that deserve the credit.

Debian has every conceivable package in it's repositry, so you don't have to install third party packages, so your favourite packages work together and don't conflict.
