Do yum and up2date play nice? -- detail

[Kyrre Ness Sjobak]

a quick sumup:

synaptic is a nice GUI for apt.

up2date is only usefull to show pending updates

yum is only usefull after fc2 (IMO), unless you are dealing with
multilib.

So for fc<3, use apt. For fc>3, use yum. If x86_64, use yum.

That is the simple explanation.
