I tried apt on redhat. Its actually frightening how similar it is to apt
in debian. It's syntax and functionality is identicle.

However, they dont' have many packages yet. And, its totally insponsered

If you do get someone to do a package managers presentation, I'll do
that bsd ports, and pkg_* part. :D
