[luau] RH8.0 graphical RPM management

[Warren Togami]

What he wants is apt-get and Synaptic.

Download apt for Red Hat 8.0.  After it is installed, type:
apt-get update			(This downloads the list of packages.)
apt-get install synaptic	(This installs synaptic.)

Synaptic is a GUI frontend tool for apt that does easy download and
installation of packages.  It will also allow easy graphical removal
too.

apt-get dist-upgrade		(This will update all your packages.)

FreshRPMS has a large amount of custom packages for RH8.0 like DVD
player, MP3 plugin for XMMS and more.  Check it out.
