Not to be rude, but Google is your friend.

First Link (I'm Feeling Lucky):
http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/

"Yum is an automatic updater and package installer/remover for rpm  
systems. It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what  
things should occur to install packages. It makes it easier to  
maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each  one 
using rpm."
