As the subject asks, is there an equivalent? I'm trying to install linux apache2 on a FreeBSD box, and would like have rpm do as much as possible as far as getting the dependencies and downloading them ...
baring this, is there a better tool to use then rpm?
thanks ...

look at the end of rpm man page, there is a section INSTALL AND UPGRADE OPTIONS. Concerning other tools, the poor experience I have with RH showed me that rpm is a great tool. Maybe you may try yum, which, iirc, is a GUI for rpm.

Actually yum's a means for updating that's meant to replace the Redhat Network Tool or whatever it was called back in RH9.0 and RHE, which comes as primarily a command line tool I thought. As far as I know is only available for Fedora-a product primarily made for desktop users made by Redhat.
