Fedora includes a package management tool called Yum. Think of it as being very similar to the way Debian's Apt works, dependency resolution and all. While Yum can be slow, and an all around pain in the ass at times, I have to say the wealth of software available is really amazing and it does work.
Learn the art of using: yum -C install <package>. By default with cache disabled, yum does more task equivalent to apt-get dist-update && apt-get install. Used with local repository, yum is relatively fast.
