I'm a Linux newbie, and i've heard about something called apt-get, the problem is that i don't even know what it is, or what it does, can someone help me?
apt-get is usually part of Debian-based systems. It's basically a pacakge management tool that finds and downloads software packages for you.
If you don't have a Debian-based system, you probably don't have apt-get. It's also probably hard to install it on non-Debian systems. It's also probably not going to help you much without the other Debian package management tools.
look at the hints, and find the one about installing apt-get.
Alternately, there are some ports of apt-get that can be used to get .rpm pacakges. One of those would probably be easier to install on a RPM-based system, but it's not the "real" apt-get.
