I have been using yum to update packages and everything seems to work ok. Also noticed that some Fedora users use a port of apt-get. What is the "official" package updater for Fedora? Which works best apt-get port or yellow dog updater? Someone posted that you can do a live update (dsl/cable) to fedora. Has anyone tried this and how? What if it fails?
