Just so you know, though, unless you use something like yum or portage

also add that regardless of distribution any given program will have
pretty much the same dependencies.
One mistake that many people do is that they compare rpm with apt,
coming down on rpm for not automatically managing dependencies like apt
while never even mentioning yum. They then conclude that Fedora sucks
becuase it has such an archaic package management system that cannot
even automatically download and install dependencies.
For some reason, many people are completely unaware of yum, while
heavily criticizing Fedora for its use of rpm and the allegedly
accompanying "dependency hell".
