Apt-Get is a package management system that is used on debian linux systems. It has the ability, unlike RPM, to connect to a server and d'load the package you are looking for as well as any/all dependencies required, all with one command, and all automagically of course. It works only if the ftp server is setup in the required 'repository' fashion. Until recently it has been only available for the debian based linux', but a couple bright souls decided to port it to RPM based systems as well. Works like a charm for me.
