On Fedora, it's "yum install packagename". To keep my machine updated,
I just do "yum check-update" in a nightly cron job, and then manually
run "yum update" if anything shows up (I'm too paranoid to let things
work completely automatically).

I don't know what dselect does, but "yum list available | more" works
pretty good for me to find a package when I mostly know what I want.
I don't know of any good tool on any distribution for doing things like
"I want something that helps me to filter my mail...list all packages
like that".
