This week’s TechMail is Getting started with the yum package manager which goes into some of the basics of using yum. This was good reference for me coming from years of urpmi, so digging into the use of yum was a good exercise for how I’m going to be dealing with packages from this point forward.
Still much more to learn I suspect, but for anyone who (like me) is used to some other package manager (be it urpmi, apt, whatever), this little primer may be of some use.
