I have been playing with the red had fedora core OS for a couple of days now. I wanted to get a grasp on it so that way i could have an objective view of which linux distro is the best.

I am attempting to install hylafax server on red hat after doing the same installation on my Debian box to see the difference in how easy / hard each one is.

First let me say that so far the Debian installation is much easier and only took two or three commands. (i'll write this up in a bit)

To use yum type:
yum update && yup upgrade yum search [packagename or part of the package name]
