type "yum list upgrades" into shell. It gives you the desired info depending on what repositoríes you've configured, e.g.:

Google told me in 0.51 seconds. You have been waiting 24 hours for a reply.

YUM, in this context, stands for Yellow dog Updater, Modified.

Hope this helps

OK, I'll take pity on you, then.
Hint:
Read the 'devinfo' mailing list, and follow it backwards a month or two.
Pay particular attention to posts by Darrell May.
Have Fun !

Post by: Anonymous on April 29, 2004, 09:42:12 PM: i dont want your pity.... i'd just like a list of the best repositories, its not a hard question... and yes google is pretty fast, but not really useful for questions based on experience, hence the reason why i thought i might ask the people who have had experience with it(but it would seem they are more interested in testing the speed of google!!!???!!!) yep maybe a search would be good, but to be honest as you should know you can spend the next 100 years trawling through the 146 zillion sites/forums/usergroups bla bla bla,
well i suppose it WAS too much to ask to have a single post full of Yum/SME Update recommendations.

well this question may be better suited..

can any one please advise me of the fastest search engine to use????

gee thanks again.

i dont want your pity....

. . And I wasn't offering any. Not for you, anyway.
I wasn't answering you, you see (I seldom answer anonymous questions).
But for you, perhaps some pointers in this thread ... http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=21205.0 ? . . since I've taken the time to answer anyway.
