Yum is easy to control at the command line. Up2date is barely
maintained any longer. If you like the GUI type interface, pup in
rawhide works fairly well. Pup is pretty much the replacement for
up2date. Pup works with yum.
There are also a few GUI front-ends for yum. GNOME and KDE versions.
The front-ends work decent for the two that I tried before. Yum is my
main tool for updating. Pup for when I do not want or cannot update
certain packages that have conflicts. Yum plain sux when there are
package conflicts.
Some things are not necessarily yum's fault. Sometimes you may update
when the server hasn't been fully loaded with all the collected
necessary packages. Just wait and they'll be there later. Or use 'yum
update --exclude=whatever-you-don't-want' to skip the offending package.
