If you want a more GUI approach, install 'apt' using yum:

apt does pretty much the same as yum, it uses different repositories
though.
To get a graphical interface for apt, install synaptic:
> yum install synaptic
OR (since you already used yum in the first part, you might give apt a
try)
> apt-get install synaptic
(you have to run 'apt-get update' before this, to update your local
package lists)
Then start 'synaptic'.
Good luck.
