Hmm apt is for debian based systems. SuSE is a RPM based system ;)

Advantages with debian: Package management is second to none. I highly recommend it.
Advantages with FC: HUGE user base... dead easy to get support. Disadvantage. RPM sucks IMO.

You can get apt-rpm, which brings the ease of use of apt to rpm-based systems.

RPM doesn't suck once you add apt to the mix. I won't say that apt-rpm is better than debian's apt, but its really solid.

(Fedora core has apt-rpm available, as well as yum, which is also becoming quite good).
