Regarding Fedora repos, Fedora (and eventually RHEL) moved to dnf. It's just the next generation of yum, basically. Adding repos is as easy as: dnf config-manager --add-repo https://atlassian.artifactoryonline.com/atlassian/hipchat-yum-client/hipchat4.repo Repos still get added to /etc/yum.repos.d/ (because that makes sense -- I expect that'll change eventually) A good resource is the Fedora Sys Admin Guide, which should be on the CD somewhere. Online, you can find the chapter on dnf here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/System_Administrators_Guide/ch-DNF.html Otherwise if you're looking for a GUI for dnf that's a bit more user friendly, I think PackageKit is what's being used right now.
