I've always had mixed feelings about Red Hat and RPMs. Up2Date and Yum both suck.
Then I discovered that you can get Apt for Red Hat (I use RHEL4-64bit).
You just have to grab one RPM from Dag RPM Repository.
For example, on my system I did this (for some reason I had to download first. I could not install directly from the URL):
wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/apt/apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-1.el3.rf.x86_64.rpm rpm --install apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-1.el3.rf.x86_64.rpm
Now welcome to Apt! You just need to update your apt cache and start using apt:
apt-get update
The default repository is RPMforge.
