I'm not sure what "that one" is in this context,
but "Fedora" is a red herring in either case.
Again: I recommend against Puppy and its security model.
It is unsuitable for learning the proper use of Linux.
Fedora is based on RedHat; Puppy is its own bloodline.
Each of these bloodlines has its own distinctive package manager: RPM; PET.
Damn Small is based on Knoppix which, in turn, is based on Debian.
DSL, Knoppix, and Debian all use the Debian Package Manager (DEB) paradigm.
(You may have noticed that I am prejudiced against non-DEB-based stuff.)
Getting good with Google is recommended in seeking out such answers:
e.g. http://google.com/search?q=repositories+OR+repository+WINE+site:DamnSmallLinux.org

(The DSL archives are especially intelligently set up.)
apt-get is the lowest common denominator across all distros;
it is one of the 1st things you want to get a handle on.
As mentioned, numerous distros have a click-and-drool interface to apt-get,
again, called a "package manager" and each of those is a bit different.
