If you want a more GUI approach, install 'apt' using yum:
> yum install apt

apt does pretty much the same as yum, it uses different repositories 
though.
To get a graphical interface for apt, install synaptic:

> yum install synaptic

OR (since you already used yum in the first part, you might give apt a 
try)

> apt-get install synaptic

(you have to run 'apt-get update' before this, to update your local 
package lists)

Then start 'synaptic'.

Good luck.
