Chapter 6 - Installing and Updating Software

joehardin

I believe I have found a small error/mistake in the Red Hat Package Manager section:

The higher-level package manager differs between distributions. Red Hat family distributions historically use RHEL/CentOS, and Fedora uses dnf, while SUSE family distributions such as openSUSE also use RPM but use the zypper interface.

I assume that "RHEL/CentOS", should be "RPM". Could someone help confirm or explain this?

It should be: "Red Hat family distributions historically use RPM; RHEL/CentOS distributions use yum, and Fedora uses dnf, while SUSE family distributions such as openSUSE also use RPM but use the zypper interface." I have fixed this and it will be available the next time we update the course (which should be sometime this year, but I don't know the exact date). Thanks for posting this.

Thank you for clearing this up with your reply. I look forward to completing the course.
