Hi, I'm new to Linux and currently using rpm with FC1. My questions are about using both yum and rpm for package management on a single system:

1. If I use yum to install package X, will rpm recognize package X is now installed?

2. Will rpm be able to update package X that was installed by yum?

3. Is it bad practice to mix yum and rpm for package management on my system? In other words, if I begin using yum, does that mean I should stop using rpm?

Many thanks,
Ted.
