With yum you would do:

Thx, this works. And is there a way to browse available packages for
Fedora? As I see I need to know about some unofficial repos like livna
if I'd like to yum up all of my favourite Linux softwares... (Skype,
RealPlayer, mplayerplug-in, streamtuner, LimeWire).
Yes, there's a way:
yum list
yum list package
yum list | grep package
If you want to see info about a package
yum info package
This last one is the equivalent of
apt-cache show package
Everybody wants those packages, but they can't be released under fedora,
because of licensing. I'd be surprised if other distributions offered them.
If you'd like a nice gui, try
yum install yumex
it is in the extras directory, if you need to --enablerepo. There'll be
an icon in the system tools menu, has separate tabs for updating
existing packages installing, removing packages, changing repos etc.
