You can also use YUM to update an RPM based system. I have been using YUM for a while and it is just as easy as apt-get. Installation is super easy too. Just download the RPM from the following link and modify the yum.conf file to add yum repository servers. If you are using Fedora you can add fedora.lsu.edu to the list for faster download.
You can get YUM from the floowing link: http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/ Nash On Monday 07 June 2004 08:04 am, Richards Jr, Edward C. wrote: > For those among us that use RPM based distros but have been wishing to > escape dependency hell, the following link will take you to an article on > how to install and use apt-get on an RPM based distro.
