Use up2date vs yum - why?

[Mike McCarty]

I use FC2, so the question is resolved for me. But I suppose
I'll eventually go to a later version. While it was available
for me, I used up2date, with the little icon on the "taskbar"
(or whatever it's called in FC). I had no problems with it.
In fact, it appears to be a GUI to yum.

So, why do I see messages here promoting yum over up2date?
IOW, what advantage does yum have for someone simply wanting
to update his packages?

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
