Sorceror Linux has a 'spell book' approach to source based PackageManagement.
Frontends to these tools include:
-<tt>up2date</tt>
:
+__Up2date__
:
A front-end to rpm provided by RedHat. You get to use it on one machine per user free, and can pay for the right to use it on more machines. It's probably worth it for most users, as it makes installing new software and keeping up with upgrades really easy.

[APT]</tt>

+[APT]:
One of the best tools around. It traditionally wraps dpkg, but there is an AptForRpm variant now (and rapidly gaining popularity). It was the first front-end to nicely handle dependencies: <tt>apt-get install foo</tt> will automatically download and install not only <tt>foo</tt>, but also any unfulfilled dependencies <tt>foo</tt> may have. There are lots of supplemental utilities surrounding -- see DebianPackageTools.
