Dear friends: Just installed Centos 5. Very impressed but as a newbie I am a bit confused about the the role of the Software Updater vs. Add/Remove and Yum(ex). Which one do I use to update the installed programs, please? Thank you. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin Sher sher07 at mindspring.com

Just doing 'yum update' in a root shell is probably the simplest and quickest way to install all available updates. -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin University of Southern California -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
