	Yes. Much better in fact than Slackware's in my opinion. The install
disks should contain a whole lot of files with a .rpm extension. This stands
for "Redhat package manager". You install them with the command line utility
rpm or using a front end such as glint which comes with the distribution -
you may not have installed this though.
	Look at the rpm(8) man page.
