Hello, I installed Fedora for the very first time on my laptop. I never used RedHat. And my question about packages management: other distros (like debian, gentoo, freebsd) get packages list from server and via some application i can view/install some of them. Can i (and where?) configure some fedora tool to view packages on some servers and easily install them? If so - please give some addresses which i could use.
Thanks, greetings,
gajos
P.S. Sorry for my english.
If you want a more GUI approach, install 'apt' using yum: > yum install apt
apt does pretty much the same as yum, it uses different repositories though.
To get a graphical interface for apt, install synaptic:
> yum install synaptic
OR (since you already used yum in the first part, you might give apt a try)
> apt-get install synaptic
(you have to run 'apt-get update' before this, to update your local package lists)
Then start 'synaptic'.
Good luck.
