Yellow Dog Updater, Modified
Yum is a great CLI application, with GUI front ends, similar to Apt for RPMs that makes updating, getting information about, installing and removing RPMs easy. It's used by Yellow Dog, Fedora Core, and RHEL (and possibly more distros I do not know about). When you install something via Yum, Yum automatically downloads and installs all dependencies of the package you want if you don't have the dependencies, putting an end to dependency hell if the package you want is in your Yum repositories.
A great Yum configuration file for the most recent stable Fedora Core that adds great repositories can be found at http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf

One of the two continuations of RedHat 9 after it split into RHEL and Fedora Core in 2003.
Fedora Core is a completely FOSS GNU/Linux distro that uses RPM, Yum and a modified Linux and is financially supported by RedHat, Inc. Fedora has a very fast release cycle, producing two or three stable releases a year. As of version 3, all of Fedora Core is rather big, taking up four CDs and a little less than seven GB of hard drive space, although not nearly that much is needed to get a Fedora system up and running. Also as of version 3, the default desktop environment is GNOME but included in the nearly seven GB is also KDE and Xfce.
As of the Fedora Core 4 tests, Fedora is for the x86, x64 and PPC CPU architectures.
