Fedora
My Fedora 14, 15, & 16 notes
Basic set up
Install RPM Fusion. RPM Fusion provides software that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn't want to ship. That software is provided as precompiled RPMs for all current Fedora versions and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5; you can use the RPM Fusion repositories with tools like yum and PackageKit.
commands & programs
#yum list installed
Install RPM using yum (yum resolves all dependencies):
Command syntax is yum install pathToFileName.rpm
Example:
yum install google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
