¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬†    Link to this post 02 Jan 12  Hi, I'm
relatively new to linux, and one thing I have trouble with is
documentation. Are pro linux users expected to be reading source
code for the _real_ documentation? I'm already a windows
developer, but I'm still learning to develop on linux, and I
want to be skilled like a pro.  Here's a specific example. I was
just trying to understand how to interpret the list that is
printed when I run  yum check-update  After searching the man
page and yum website, I only saw a description of what the
command does, but not how to interpret the output. I know it is
supposed to list all packages with updates applied to them, but
I do not simply get a list of names, I get a list in the format
'<name> | <size> <time>', followed by a list in the format
<name> <number>/<number>. Here's an example: Loaded plugins:
langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit adobe-linux-i386 | 951 B
00:00 adobe-linux-i386/primary | 11 kB 00:00 fedora/metalink |
21 kB 00:00 fedora | 4.2 kB 00:00 fedora
