Is there any fedora equivalent to debian's apt-get? I see up2date is somewhat thatway but needs some registration with Redhat, is this registration free or do weneed to pay RH for this service?
Well, you could use apt-get itself -- it's available for Fedora. However, the "standard" program is called "yum", and it's basically equivalent. The main thing that'll take some getting used to coming from apt-get is that there's no separate "update" step to get new repository information -- you just do "yum install somepackage" and it automatically checks the network.
The yum man page has a lot more....
yes...apt-get does "update": "apt-get update" will update the repo information and pull down any new listings it finds on the mirrors. Who told you apt-get doesn't update?
