abcde for fedora?

[David Bruzos]

Hi:
Fedora comes with a package manager called "yum" which provides similar functionality to "apt".  I like yum very very 
much.  It is simple to use and very powerful.  There are many yum rpm databases on the net too. Most software 
you would ever need you can get by typing:
# yum install package1 package2 package3 ...

The only disadvantage of "yum" is that it is much slower than "apt", because it is written in python.  However, it does 
not really matter, because the handling of RPMS is performed by the "rpm" program, which runs at full speed...  You 
might just see that it takes a long time to find dependencies and stuff like that.  I use it 
on a 300 MHZ machine without any problems, so most people should not have problems either.
