What distros have synaptic package manager?

[western]

Hi, im looking for a linux distro that has synaptic installed.

i've looked at yoper and vector.

selection of programs at installation, good hardware detection, and a pretty fast startup would be a good addition.

gentoo's installation is too long, yoper throws apps that you don't necessarily need and has a problem detecting ati cards, and vector does not detect my sound card.

wanted to try ubuntu but from some reason it keeps looping the word GRUB after first installation and does not want to bootload.

i hope you neowinians can help me. thanks. :)

ubuntu and fedora core use it, as does debian...

that's all i can think of off the top of my head

If I am thinking correctly, anything that can use apt-get can use Synaptic, since Syntaptic is just a front-end to apt-get. :unsure:

So, that means Debian and Debian-based distros. Plus, as contra mentioned, Fedora can install apt4rpm, which gives it apt-get (in a way, but I don't know the technical details) and can use Syanptic. I have it on my Fedora box.
