apt-get is for "getting" rpm's from the command line and they should install automatically providing you use the corred flags. Up2date, is a Red hat tool to check and see if your system has any software that should be updated. obviously the apt-get works for more Distro's than up2date.

They just check different servers for updates. up2date can be run from a shell as well:

up2date-nox -di
