All of these folks that replied that Mandrake has the same package manager as Red Hat have never used Mandrake. I have been using Mandrake since 7.1 and its package manager has always been light years ahead of anything that Red Hat has ever offered, including up2date.
Give credit where credit is due. Red Hat should have picked up urpmi and ran with it. Had it done so, we would have one standard way of distributing software in the rpm world, instead of the mess we have now. It's 2003 and only now is Red Hat coming around to seeing that its way of distributing sofware was problematic.
When somebody makes a point about a piece of software, why don't you investigate it first, instead of just jumping the gun?

URPMI is the operative word in the parent thread
