    Hi Les, How many guys are supposed to know about yum? And I have 
never done a yum update on ANY computer. I have been using Linux since 
1994 and we didn't have yum then.

    Where should I go to learn about yum? My knowledge is all from email 
and the man pages.

    It seems that not many people have tried to use Thunderbird on FC4.
