Yum and RPM Questions

[Andres Reitze]

Hi All,

I've been referd here by the Yum mailing list..  so I'm copying my
previous post made to them...    thx again for your help...

Hi All,

I'm new to linux and started off with Fedora 3 at my office, liked it
so 
much that I installed Yellow Dog 4.0 to my iBook 700 G3 yesterday, now 
it flyes compared to when it had OS X.  I love os X, but needed a
change 
and found it in yellow Dog, well actualy in Linux..   loved linux... 

But I can't get the hand of installing RPM's and neither using the YUM 
thing, that I still don't understand how it works...  Up untill now in 
Fedora 3 I use APT-GET and Synaptic so it can be with a gui,
graphical.  
In terminal I'm completly lost, can bearly install something, so I need 
Graphics bad...

How can I do this??? 

1.- I need to install the RPM i downloaded , the APT pakage...
2.- I need to get some Graphical interface for APT or YUM if posible to 
be able to install things like JAVA that I can't install...
3.- It all has to be in Gnome since i left out KDE from my iBook, hate 
it, to windowish, love Gnome...   2.8 is the one I use in Fedora 3...

Thx for any help you can give me...

thx,
Andres.-
