Mandrake has not one, but _two_ apt-like tools.
urpmi is Mandrake's own app, designed to cater for newbies and to serve as a
backend for Mandrake's Software Manager.
rpm-get is essentially a port of apt-get to RPM. Consequently, it works in a
very similar manner. As of Mandrake 8.1, it is officially supported along with
urpmi. If you like apt-get, this is the Mandrake tool you'd be after.
