During the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

Mandrake has a tool called urpmi which like apt-get does full dependency tracking for RPMs It will go and download them from a web repository (or the original install CD) if necessary to satisfy a dependancy.
Of course other distros have this feature too, eg debian and gentoo. As far as I know, RPM dependency-hell is only a 'feature' of RedHat & SUSE.
