David, I am confused here. I am very new to this Linux stuff admittedly. Just installed RedHad 9 on a lap top in the last month. Have this young guy here who has "grown up" on Linux. With his help after the install, I went to a site, entered a command (RPM) with some flags, then did various apt get commands. SO, am asking what am I missing in your statement below? It appears to me that apt-get also works for RedHat.
