Sadly neither of those is even entirely accurate. For example, emerge
is available for both Gentoo and OSX (and others?). Apt-get runs on
much more than Debian. Apt works on OSX (used in Fink), Ubuntu, and
with apt-for-rpm even on RH/Fedora based apps.

Nothing wrong with those distros, but  emerge on Linux != emerge on
OSX. OSX's has trouble building stuff. On Linux, it's great.

And if you get happy and excited that you think you're on a
Debian-based box because you find apt, you're in for a big
disapointment when you see it's Fedora.
