= Package management system

Fedora is a distribution that uses a package management system. This
system is based on the http://rpm.org[RPM Package Manager], with
several higher-level tools built on top of it, most notably
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/[PackageKit] (the default
GUI package management tool) and the link:Yum[yum] (command line tool).
As of Fedora 22, yum has
been replaced by link:Dnf[ dnf].
The Gnome Package Manager is another
GUI package manager.
