Is there a modern RPM-based distro that doesn't provide dependancy checking 
utilities for RPM?
Fedora does it with yum, Mandrake has urpmi (I think), SuSE does it with YAST 
(apparently.) People's bias against RPM not handling dependancy checking 
should be reevaluated.

FWIW, I install apps on Fedora Core 1 with
$ sudo yum install <app-name>
I update my system with
$ sudo yum update
I can search for packages by using
$ yum search <search term>
