typing 'rpm -Uvh packagename' is hard.
Because you have to find packagename's rpm first. Debian doesn't normally
need you to do that.
apt-get is available for RPM also and does wonderful things just like on
debian, but no one has yet built the humongous library of interworking
packages the way the legion of debian package maintainers has.
and on Mandrake (rpm based), you have urpmi.
