<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==WHAT==<br />
I use two main linux distros. Fedora on my own boxens and desktop/laptop and gentoo on the gateway, devel boxens and other servers. And I kinda' mess them up. Here's what I usually mess.<br />
<br />
==Difference==<br />
<br />
''Updating the package database''<br/><br />
<br />
This command only checks to see if new packages are avaiable, and will not install anything onto your computer. Yum actually updates its list of packages at every run, unless you use the -C option to use the cached list.<br />
<br />
'''Fedora'''<br />
<br />
yum check-update<br />
<br />
'''Gentoo'''<br />
<br />
emerge --sync<br />
OR<br />
emerge-webrsync (If rsync does not work)<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
''Update All Packages on your system''<br/><br />
<br />
This command will actually install all of the updates on your system. The default behavior in yum is to ask before actually installing the updated packages; this behavior is replicated in emerge through the use of the --ask (-a) flag.<br />
<br />
'''Fedora'''<br />
<br />
yum update<br />
<br />
'''Gentoo'''<br />
<br />
emerge -aDv world<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
''Installing a specific package''<br/><br />
<br />
This will install only specific packages. You can install more than one if desired.<br />
<br />
'''Fedora'''<br />
<br />
yum -y install app1 app2<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
yum install app1 app2<br />
<br />
'''Gentoo'''<br />
<br />
emerge app1 app2<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
emerge -a app1 app2<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
''Reinstalling a single package''<br/><br />
<br />
Following the same pattern as above, more than one can be done at a time if desired.<br />
<br />
'''Fedora'''<br />
<br />
yum update app1<br />
<br />
'''Gentoo'''<br />
<br />
emerge --oneshot app1<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
''Searching for packages in the database''<br/><br />
<br />
'''Fedora'''<br />
<br />
yum search app1<br />
<br />
'''Gentoo'''<br />
<br />
emerge --searchdesc app1<br />
<br />
Note: On Gentoo, it's actually much better to install and use either the esearch package or the eix package to do a search. This is because they cache the searches, and are much faster than using emerge --search. You use them like so:<br />
<br />
eix searchword<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
esearch searchword<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
''Removing a package''<br/><br />
<br />
'''Fedora'''<br />
<br />
yum remove app1<br />
<br />
'''Gentoo'''<br />
<br />
emerge --unmerge app1<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
''Services''<br/><br />
<br />
To stop/start/whatever a service, you need to call the /etc/init.d script directly. There is no "service" command.<br />
<br />
To enable/disable service on boot:<br />
'''Fedora'''<br />
<br />
chkconfig <service> on<br />
chkconfig <service> off<br />
<br />
to specify runlevel:<br />
chkconfig --levels 235 <service> on<br />
<br />
'''Gentoo'''<br />
<br />
rc-update add <service> <runlevel><br />
rc-update del <service> <runlevel><br />
<br />
i.e.:<br />
rc-update add apache2 default<br />
rc-update del alsasound boot<br />
<br />
