I really strongly recommend you use yum - find your nearest mirror - http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html
- then update your /etc/yum.conf file with your mirror's base folder and updates folder for your version of fedora
- now you can just run yum check-update from command line
- yum update <leave blank for all updates, or type package name for specific update>
- yum install <package name> for a package you haven't installed already
- I can't remember the command for removing a package but just go to man yum for that one
I highly recommend yum, ever since I first had to learn how to use it, I was totally surprised at how easy it is to learn compare to most package management tools. Also updating the yum.conf with the mirrors is really easy. ALWAYS USE A MIRROR or it will be slow and time out on you. The default servers are too slow.
