Okay, sorry I was brief....

Here's one you should read http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO

From the site itself:

Quote:

apt-get update
Download package lists. Packages change several times daily, so do this often.
apt-get dist-upgrade

apt-cache search <word>
Search all known packages entries (descriptions etc) for <word>.
apt-cache show <packagename>
Show basic information about a package.

There's more...

HOWTO use yum

yum check-update
See if there are updated packages available.
yum update

A few things to add....

First you should do all of it as root... just type 'su', and then your root password.

Second, you need to tell 'apt' and 'yum' where to get the rpms from. To get you started here is my apt sources ( /etc/apt/sources.list )
