Are you inferring that from my mail?
yum and apt are great and are both available for fedora.
All I meant was from a bandwidth point of view
it was quicker to download the isos and share
them locally. Of course I could setup a local
yum/apt mirror.

Process managment

ps -A  #show all processes
ps -Af #show all processes with full command line
ps -Al #show all processes with extra info
ps -A --forest  #show all processes and associated hierarchy

You can search the process list using grep, and send
signals using the command `kill -num pid`. The default
num is 15 (SIGTERM). `kill -l` will give a list.
Note kill -9 should never be used in normal operation.
