Question #: 128
Topic #: 1
Which option to the yum command will update the entire system? (Specify ONLY the option name without any additional parameters.)

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

The yum command is a tool for managing software packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and other RPM- based systems. The yum update option will update the entire system by checking the versions of the installed packages and installing the latest available versions from the repositories. The yum upgrade option will do the same, but it will also remove any obsolete packages that are no longer needed by the system. Both options will prompt the user to confirm before proceeding with the update or upgrade process. References:
