Abstract
Unless you’re installing a brand-new version of a piece of software, there are bound to be
updates available for it, and Fedora Core is no exception. Updating your system with the
latest patches, bug fixes, and security updates will keep your system running as smoothly
and problem-free as possible. Because Fedora Core is Linux, there’s not just one way to
update your system. In this chapter, I’ll explain how the Fedora Core basic update process
works and how to use the various mechanisms available to you.
