Default Yum & RPM

What are the popular distros out there that are cabable of using Yum and RPMs such as Fedora and Redhat?

Well, YUM stands for Yellow Dog Updater, Modified, so obviously, Yellow Dog uses it. Other than that, I don't know of any distros that use it off the top of my head (although some of the popular RH based distros may...)

As for RPMs, just about all of the RH based distros can use them in one form or another. This includes and is not limited to Fedora, SuSE, Yellow Dog, and Mandriva.

Thanks then I'll be going with Mandriva or Suse I'm trying to move away from Fedora but still keep some things close to home.
