Updating software on YDL (is it YUM?)

[Eric D]

Is yum an easy way of updating YDL like OS X's "Software Update"?

Is there an easy way to say "update all packages installed on my computer" 
or, even, update Apache?

Would

yum upgrade apache

upgrade the version of Apache installed by YDL 3.0.1?

I've been seeing indications on the web that error 17 is something internal 
to early 2.0 versions of Apache and am wondering if an update would fix my 
error 17 problem?

PS YDL is a lot of fun. It's a lot more approachable than version 2.1 when I 
last fiddled with YDL (I'm curious to see what version 4.0 is like... 
hopefully it'll be even more user-friendly and robust (I've had GNOME crash 
on me twice (more like it stopped responding to the keyboard... aside from 
command-control-power)... had to login from my other computer and 
"reboot")).
