On Linux, it's "apt" (Debian) or "rpm" (RedHat).

I've been moving away from Solaris (as far back as SunOS 3.2!) and learning 
Debian on x86 hardware lately.  I'm close to getting it to mirror the 
entire boot disk; the serial console works, with an appropriate BIOS for 
the early stages; and there are resources for securing it (to some degree). 
Debian and "apt-get", particularly "apt-get dist-upgrade", are worth a 
serious look.  Even /usr/ports doesn't do that.

The lack of apt-get is what kills me on Solaris.
