I really like ubuntu's apt with the easy to use with auto-dependancy resolution. Is yum or any of the other package managers like that?...

    Yes... Gentoo's emerge, Arch's pacman, and some others work that way.

    Most distros have dependency handling package management. In fact, the only one I can think of right now (I'm quite tired) that doesn't have dep handling is Slackware.
    Looking for a distro? Look here.
