Hi jitendra
There is a nice software called yumex available for Fedora Core 9.
(Its said to be the most friendly one. See Mayank's presentation here:
http://lug-iitd.org/images/c/c3/Fedora_tips.odp to see how to install.
That is also on the dvd.).
Once your packages are ready you can install yumex.
If you insist on the synaptic package manager, it is available for
Fedora also. It should be in that repository or the livna one (Doesn't
come on the DVD)
If not there you can try on rpmfind.net one of the best rpm finder
sites. http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=synaptic is
the link.

In addition toYumex, have a try with Fedomatix script

<copy paste>

FedoMATIX is a tool (An Installer script) that automates the addition of applications, codecs, which otherwise would have taken much long to manually update the system using the yum command. FedoMATIX also provides softwares that are no available on the Fedora Software Repositories. This makes FedoMATIX a must have for both Fedora LInux Newbies and Experts alike.

FedoMATIX curently allows a menu-driven installation of over 60 different "capabilities", including Burning and Ripping tools such as Gnomebaker and Ripper (among many more), Virtualization tools like wine, virtualbox, programming compilers, subversion support, Graphics and scanner utilities, lots of Multimedia Audio and Video Codecs, Players and Managers), File Sharing utilities, browsers, email clients, network monitors and various security tools such as antivirus and network intrusion detectors.

FedoMATIX also has built in support for installing Google softwares like earth, gadgets, picasa. It also installs a Document reading related Plugin pack and other tweaks and tools like Flickr foto uploadrs, feed readers and many more.
