I've only ever met one person who was familiar with Yellowdog, let alone what yum means.

If I remember correctly yum was the "apt" as in sudo yum install ... Should work. Think it stood for yellowdog update (manager?). Unsure.

I can't tell if this is trolling ... But yes. It stood for yellowdog update manager.
