if I may make a suggestion run
yum list available
#or
yum list "*gimp*"
#or
yum info "*gimp*"
#first to get the exact package names etc ...
also you can do
yum list available|less
#in another shell for reference, however if you do scroll to the end first
so yum passes it all to the pipe and exits. else you'll get an error due to
trying to run two copies at once. :-D
