Install apt from apt.freshrpms.net then install synaptic. Synamptic is basically an APT frontend that will allow you to visually select packages to install and upgrade.
The only frontend to yum that i know of is up2date, but i don't think that what you had in mind :)

up2date is NO yum frontend!
up2date can make use of yum repositories, that's all.

The effect is still the same, no?

Perhaps i am wrong, but i would call soemthing that makes use of another somethings resources a front-end function. A front end makes use of a service, not neccissarily a front-end to the application.

So up2date is a front end to apt?

You have a weird definition of "front-end". You would say Mozilla is a httpd "front-end"? Or Samba is a Win2000 "front-end"?
Up2date can use apt or yum repositories, but uses neither the apt or yum program.

Ok, my opinions seem to have been pretty skewed lately, sorry for the problems, i guess i need more sleep.
