rpm is the RedHat Package Manager - you would use it in an rpm based distro such as Red Hat, Fedora or Mandrake. The -i, -v and -h (or -ivh) means:
-i = install
-v = verbose (tells you what's going on)
-h = hashes (a progress bar while it installs)
see also -e (uninstall)

The apt-get commands are for Debian based distros, such as Debian (of course) and Knoppix.

Which are you running?
