Linux – Fedora, apt-get & aptitude

aptaptitudefedoralinux

I am used to working on Ubuntu based systems. I have several DEBIAN repositories for distributing my software.

  1. Now, I'd like to know if it is common for Fedora users to use "apt-get" and DEBIAN repositories?

  2. What is the equivalent to Aptitude on Fedora based systems?

Updated: I understand the Fedora folks use yum. My question has more to do with "do folks bother with installing apt-get/aptitude to have access to stuff only available in DEB repositories? "

Red Hat, Fedora and their relatives use RPM. They use yum for package management. OpenSuSE and SuSE use Zypper.

Alien converts packages between formats.
