I don't want to start a round of RPM bashing, but RPM
does tend to confuse things sometime.

As for your question about apt-get; a package for
Debian will add things to the menu's and set it up for
the Distro properly - in the same way it does it on an
RPM system...but better. ;)

If you are not confined to sticking with Red Hat, you
may want to investigate Mandrake as a distro until you
join the join the Debian club. ;)

Seriously though, this is a great opportunity to get
to know Linux really well. It will be scary, but feel
free to post questions to this list and use the IRC
channel for help. :D I wish most new Linux people got
chucked in the deep end like this...it really does
help you get to grips with the system.
