http://freshrpms.net/apt/

"Binary packages of apt for most Red Hat Linux releases can be found on 
http://apt.freshrpms.net/. Just download the package for your 
distribution then install it as root with rpm -Uvh apt-* and you'll be 
all set. If you feel a bit lost, you might then want to install synaptic 
by simply typing apt-get update && apt-get install synaptic as root."

The icon for synaptic will be placed under "System Settings".  If you 
start synaptic from a terminal window you will see more status 
information in the window. Either way, synaptic will make it very easy 
to use and understand apt.
