You'll need to get used to using a terminal and logging in as root to do 
updates, at least at first.  At some point you might try installing Synaptic, 
KPackage (maybe this is already included in 5.0?), or some other graphical 
package manager.  My favorite is Synaptic, as I use Debian Linux as my 
exclusive OS (on x86) at work, and I am most familiar with it.  It's 
fantastic.

Plugins are sometimes problematic.  Sometimes there are patent issues, etc.  
There are some unofficial repositories for Fedora (e.g. multimedia codec 
repos) that may have what you're looking for; maybe some other list members 
have the URLs handy--I don't right now.  Supposedly Fedora Core 5 repos and 
earlier should work with Yellow Dog (make sure that you use PowerPC packages 
from whatever repo you use, of course).

Hope that helps,
-PRH
