Yes, it does(!). There was a project a few months ago that ported the Debian package manager to RedHat. I can't find any links on that at the moment, can anyone else? Also, there is a project called Alien that can convert various software package formats to others. Again, no good links at the moment. You should also get familiar with installing files from source.
