| Fedora Core 1.0 (Yarrow) was released on 6th November 2003. Improvements over Red Hat Linux 9 include automated updates with yum, improved laptop support (ACPI, cpufreq) and faster program start time (prelinking). ----- YUM is... Yellow Dog Updater, Modified, yum for short, is a package manager for RPM Package Manager compatible Linux systems. Its main advantages over the RPM version of the Advanced Packaging Tool apt are Smaller codebase Better dependency handling Yum will likely become the standard tool for updating Red Hat Linux / Fedora Linux. --- Personally I heard about it recently and the Red Hat series is being abandoned for Fedora so go for it. |

| Monster Techie | Isn't there a choice of installations on Redhat, but you can only install as a workstation on Fedora? That's what someone told me... I think... unless I dreamed it. But I'm pretty sure someone told me that.

| against my better judgement - (*simply because I am thinking about switching distros...*) - redhat really has ticked people off this time... - Not gonna go there.. On to the details - RedHat wont be putting out updates for RedHat Linux in the future... If you want to get updates 'easily' in the future, you'll hafta upgrade or change distros.... Take the plunge... |
