["roman one" <roman () pointyhats com>]

As mentioned by another on this list, this isn't really the appropriate
list for such an inquiry, however, not to leave you without an answer,
for any linux distro that uses rpm's, yum - Yellow dog Updater, Modified
would fit the need. It's used extensively and is relatively straight
forward in implementation. You can find it here:

http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/

In the future, the focus-linux () securityfocus com would be a better place
for a linux related inquiry.

into you.
