Lot's of ways to do that, one way...
go here:    http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO

And get 
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/0.95/i386/RPMS.stable/apt-0.5.5cnc6-0.fdr.9.0.94.i386.rpm
And get 
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/RPMS.stable/synaptic-0.43.1-0.fdr.1.rh90.i386.rpm

After you install them, in /etc/apt/sources.list, put the following:

###  Beginning of /etc/apt/sources.list
# Fedora Core
rpm http://download.fedora.us/fedora redhat/0.95/i386 os updates
rpm-src http://download.fedora.us/fedora redhat/0.95/i386 os updates

# Fedora Extras (formerly "Fedora Linux")
rpm http://download.fedora.us/fedora redhat/0.95/i386 stable unstable testing
rpm-src http://download.fedora.us/fedora redhat/0.95/i386 stable unstable testing

# Fedora Core 1 Test 3 updates will be distributed through Rawhide 
rpm http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/apt redhat/rawhide/en/i386 os
#failover rawhide repo
#rpm http://ftp.silug.org/pub/apt redhat/rawhide/en/i386/redhat os

# auxiliary source of packages with questionable licenses -- use at your own risk
rpm http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/0.95/i386 stable unstable testing
rpm-src http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/0.95/i386 stable unstable testing
####  End of Apt Sources.


Then (as root) run "synaptic"

You will like it.
