I come from Debian Linux. In that OS I used aptitude for a neat ncurses text-based GUI package manager. What exists for CentOS that is the same?

Text based or GUI? It's either one or the other. – John Gardeniers Jan 07 '11 at 02:43

I think he's using the term "GUI" to apply to any menu-based system. ncurses certainly restricts it to the realm of the terminal. – David Mackintosh Jan 07 '11 at 03:43

yum:

I don't know of an ncurses front for it but there is "Yum Extender" (yumex) which is a full GUI front-end to yum.
Hope that helps.
