Dear friends:

Just installed Centos 5. Very impressed but as a newbie I am a bit confused about the the role of the Software Updater vs. Add/Remove and Yum(ex). Which one do I use to update the installed programs, please?

They all work with the same rpm repositories, so whichever you feel comfortable with. Just doing 'yum update' in a root shell is probably the simplest and quickest way to install all available updates.

Dear Garrick:

Thank you so much. Really appreciate the clarification.
