I'm new to the list and I just installed fedora .95 yesterday. I noticed that yum and apt repositories are available. I'm used to apt and I have played with yum a tiny bit. I'm assuming both repositories are updated at the same time but is there an "official" package management tool? What are the advantages of each? What do yall recommend? Thanx!

"official" tool is up2date, which supports both yum and apt repositories.

Ok, cool. Next question. I run up2date and it is pointing at rawhide repositories. Don't I want it to point to fedora repositories? Do I change this in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources?

During the Fedora Core test period, Raw Hide is the source for updated packages.

"Official" with regard to what?
You can consider "up2date" and redhat-config-packages the primary package tools for Fedora Core, since up2date is the only one that supports Red Hat Network, Yum and APT repositories.
To make it easy, use the one that works for you and meets your requirements.
