Dear Centos community, I am new to centos/redhat and I would like to know on a centos system, can I use yum alone to do all package management? I don't want to learn two systems and confuse myself, I understand yum is much better than rpm if is the case?
yum is simply a layer built on top of rpm. it's nice if you can do everything you want with yum, but it doesn't hurt to learn the basics of rpm anyway.
