[Yum] Re: A yum GUI exists: yumi

[Powell, James F CONT]

My X can use it, and you don't get much more non-tech than her.  It's a pretty straight forward interface, lets you pick what you want to install (upgrade or remove), then click the install button, and it takes care of the rest for you.  I do my upgrades via the cron job, but it is nice to use when there are new apps out there.
