I've heard about a tool called apt-rpm that sounds similar to yum. Is there such a thing, and does it have any advantages?
A1:
The apt-rpm package manager is indeed very similar to yum and does its job similarly well. For most users, and for beginning users in particular, there is little functional difference between the two. Because yum is installed automatically with Fedora Core 4 and apt-rpm must be downloaded separately, we have discussed yum here.
Q2:
What if I don't purchase a subscription to Fedora Core 4 via the Red Hat Network? Am I free to continue to use this software legally without buying a subscription?
A2:
Yes, you can continue to use Fedora Core 4 even if you don't own or purchase a subscription to Fedora Core 4. The End User License Agreement and the GNU General Public License, which detail your rights to this software, can be found in the text files EULA and GPL on the first Fedora Core 4 CD-ROM.
