it's really a terrific tool...helped me upgrade from 7.1 to 7.3 and I'm
currently using it to get rid of the self-inflicted Ximian crap and move
over to the RH supplied Gnome packages instead...
don't walk, run and get it ;=)

I recently went through rpm dependency hell (with an issue other than
PCMCIA) with RH 8 on a 600E and in the process discovered "apt" (from the Debian side of the tracks)
and its associated GUI "synaptic" have been ported over to Red Hat.
No longer do I hunt and peck for rpm dependencies. Just select the package
I want in the end and it grabs all of the required packages. It's also
saved me in my attempt to make leaner system by removing a package without
knowing its dependencies.
Both packages can be found at: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://freshrpms.net/apt/">http://freshrpms.net/apt/</a>
