Some of the material is certainly very out of date.

"up2date is now deprecated in favor of yum (Yellowdog Updater Modified).
The entire stack of tools which installs and updates software in Fedora
12 is now based on yum. This includes everything, from the initial
installation via Anaconda to host software management tools like pirut."

Pirut doesn't exist in Fedora for a long time. PackageKit and it
graphical frontends have replaced it.  You should probably introduce yum
first, encourage the use of it and note that RPM is a low level utility
so that users don't have to deal with dependencies themselves.
