Automated update system supplied with Fedora. Kinda like the RHN, but free and more up to date version-wise, but without the package checking done by Redhat.
If you're running Fedora and it's installed, typing "yum update <package name>" will update a package to the latest version on your downloads site (it defaults to download.fedora.redhat.com), yum install <package name>" installs a package you haven't currently got installed, "yum remove <package name>" removes it and "yum update" will attempt to update all the packages on your machine. The last time I looked a couple of days ago, the latest version that Redhat were giving of Samba was 3.0.3, but that might have changed now. I know it's a lazy way of doing things, but it saves me a lot of time. I'm a little worried that this is going a bit OT for the list, so if anyone wants any more information, just email me directly. Finally a quick google search finds you plenty of information on it.
