Yes! There’s one for adding new programs, and one for updating software you already have installed. • To install new software, just open up the “Applications” menu and choose “Add/Remove Programs.” That’s actually just a GUI for yum. • When your software needs updates, a little icon will appear on your top panel (usually at the top right of your screen), and Fedora will tell you that you need updates. If this doesn’t happen, you need to install the yum-updatesd package: • Open a Terminal. • Become root: su – • Run the following command: yum install yum-updatesd Now you will be automatically notified when there are new updates available for the software you have installed!
