Advanced front-end for rpm

Yum (Yellow dog Updater, Modified) is an automatic updater and package installer/remover for rpm systems.

Features include: 

    * Multiple Repositories
    * Simple config file
    * Correct dependency calculation
    * Fast operation
    * rpm-consistent behavior
    * comps.xml group support, including multiple repository groups
    * Simple interface
