Thanks. Mattias explained that I had a misunderstanding of how things
work. External tools do the download for the package management
systems. The latter simply does the install/uninstall of packages.

Ubuntu used 'apt-get' for the command line and 'synaptic' as a GUI.
Ubuntu being Debian based, it uses *.deb packages.

Red Hat I believe still uses *.rpm packages. 'yum' being the command
line download utility.
