the gnorpm proggie (the gnome rpm manager) does exactly the same, browses rpm databases on the net, downloads and installs/upgrades... which is kinda neat ;)
Oh no, not unless rpm has become a lot less chaotic and they've added a lot of clever stuff to gnorpm. When he says apt-get goes and installs what you tell it, he means and all the right versions of the stuff it depends upon too. Very nice if you're used to playing "hunt the rpm".
