Hello William,
Fedora doesn't use RHN.
Then what is the Red Hat Network Alert Notification Tool doing in my task bar? Usually I do see updates being available there before they are announced.
Bye, Leonard.
The rhn-applet has been improved so it is able to check for updates in repositories (ftp or http). Redhat Network or RHN is setup a bit differently and is what you and many longtime Redhat users are used to.
The alert ICON works for yum and I imagine apt-repositories.
The new lead person can probably fill you in on what RHN is. It is basically a whole network structure vs. a package repository, which uses header information generated by yum or apt tools for the server to know what to do with rpms on the repositories.
