RPM
From Linuxhelp Wiki
chiacvize RPM (Redhat Package Manager) is a package management system originally developed by Redhat, but is used on many other Linux Distributions. RPM can be used to install, update, query, verify and uninstall packages in its database and in its format. The idea behind package managers is to make software installation as easy as possible to the end-user, however, one problem that has plagued RPM from the beginning is dependency checking and resolution. Mandrake has made some headway in this department with urpmi, however, it still doesn't come close to the package management system provided by Debian with apt-get. The great thing about free software, though, is that it can be modified to suit anyone's needs, therefore, you can not get apt-get for RPM packages. This makes dependency resolution a very simple task.
