just to add to everyone else's replies on this about rpmfind.net, I have found it MUCH easier to use apt to solve rpm dependencies - especially when i first started with linux. The biggest pain i came across when installing rpms were the dependencies - say i wanted to install packageX and it might need packages A, B & C, but in-turn those packages may also need other rpms so before you know it you need to find tons of packages to solve all the deps.
have a look at http://apt.freshrpms.net/ -- its well worth the download.
