linux newbie here. I'm running Fedora 12 and I have a script for Ubuntu installing a bunch of packages using aptitude. I tried installing the packages using yum, but most of them aren't available.
The packages aren't very new or complicated stuff, is there any way get packages through aptitude on fedora? Or am I just going to have to find the Fedora equivalent of each package manually, for example the first package installed is g++ and of course this has a fedora equivalent.

I think you'll just have to manually find the equivalent packages.
For example, g++ on Fedora is gcc-c++. libfoo-dev is generally libfoo-devel or foo-devel.
