Welcome Darrell. Here is the summary version: To install a specific package, such as postfix from a repository that you are configured to get packages from use: yum install postfix To update to the newest version of postfix that is in your configured repositories use: yum update postfix To update everything in repositories that are configured on your machine use: yum update If you are moving between point releases (CentOS 5.1 to CentOS 5.2) use: yum upgrade Hope this helps.
