[Yum] how to deal with yum

Fri Dec 31 20:05:34 UTC 2004

Hello,

I want to learn dealing with yum.

- I'm waiting for a brand new dedicated server and Fedora Core2 will be
installed on it (I wont have physical acces to it, I wont install Fedora
on it)

- I dont understand the stable/testing/unstable system:
 * is the stable/testing/unstable tag for the packages or for the whole
distribution?

- is 'yum update' the equivalent of 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'apt-get
upgrade' ? I want to know the step by step way to move from  FC2 to FC3
when FC3 will be known as ready for servers. I already posted that
question on the Fedora list but they told the yum way of upgrade is NOT
supported.

Thank you for your help:

PS: what's the difference with the Fedora legacy and fedora.us? Are they
fighting? Are they working together? what's the deal?
