You can get it right here: http://apt.freshrpms.net/

After that either use the command "apt-get update" as root and go from there or, instead, go this:

apt-get update && apt-get install synaptic

which installs Synaptic (in RedHat's System Tools menu). It's a GUI frontend for apt-get, essentially. You can use freshrpms' repositories as well as others. Works very well.

Don't forget that apt creates a file called 'sources.list' in the directory /etc/apt. Here's what my sources.list file looks like:

rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/9/i386 os updates freshrpms
rpm ftp://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/apt redhat/9/en/i386 os updates extra
rpm http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/ redhat/en/i386/9.0 newrpms
rpm http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de redhat/9/en/i386 at-stable at-good at-testing

BTW...anyone know of a fast repository, other than these, that carries several good games? <<edit>> newrpms.sunsite.dk has a the FreeDroidRPG - you play Tux in a futuristic setting where the Evil MS Empire took over the world. My girlfriend only played Diablo, Frozen Bubble and UT until we found that one.
