Hardly "apt-based", a more appropriate term would be "apt-enabled". Whether apt
itself appears in Fedora Core is unknown but possible, however expect to find it
in Fedora Extras (once the projects are really merged - in the meanwhile apt is
available from fedora.us).

Fedora Core will be an actual distribution you install on an empty machine,
