Yes, upgrade to a newer version.  Fedora has a new release every six
months and each release gets updates for about 13 months.  After that
you will not get updates and yum won't be very useful at that point. The
currently maintained releases are Fedora 12 and Fedora 11.  Fedora
13 is going to be released mid May and one month after that,  Fedora 11
will stop getting updates.  This is the Fedora life-cycle.

hey,

F8 is long gone into EOL. It's really difficult to provide help/support
for it. I'd recommend updating to the latest release asap.

Don't be so hard on yourself.  There are no foolish questions, only
questions that are easy to answer.
