Yep! follow the install wizard, do a custom install if you like so that you 
can choose what desktop and apps you want.

When finished just do;

yum install apt synaptic

(Connected to the net of course) (Oh and make sure yum is installed, its on

No problem, but once you get Synaptic on (Via yum, stupid I know but there it 
is) the repos will be there for you its dead easy to add more if you want, 

IMHO don't use ATRPMS I had really bad conflict trouble with this guys 
packages, he was very nice about it and we exchange quit a few mails.
