aptitude is a really awesome piece of tool. I use it at work. But yum
with yum-utils and rpm can be very powerful. It lacks a nice interface
like aptitude, but once you are familiar with most of the capabilities
of yum, yum-utils and rpm they can be more effective than aptitude.

Have a look at their man pages to see what I mean.
http://linux.die.net/man/8/yum
http://linux.die.net/man/1/yum-utils
http://linux.die.net/man/8/rpm

The various tools in yum-utils have separate man pages so be sure to
check them out too.
