Fedora 16 now!

Release 16 aka Verne of Fedora Gnome 3.2.1

First lesson - how do I install Google Chrome via command line?
Answer: Followed instructions here
But before I finished the first lesson, I had to grapple with some questions, such as:
1. How do I go as root in the terminal? Answer:

su -

2. What editor can I use, as there is no nano installed? Answer: gedit
Got these answers from this source
Still as root, add the virtualbox repo to yum
[root@lave ~]# gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo
And now attempting to install Virtualbox -
su -

yum install dkms

Successfully installs the pre-requisite dkms package

Unlike in Ubuntu, installing dkms does not include the gcc package, so need to install that as well

yum install gcc

Then add the virtualbox repo to yum -
[root@lave ~]# gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo
The contents of the file from the virtualbox site here
Then download the rpm file for Fedora, and perform this as root as well:

yum install VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.6_74713_fedora16-1.i686.rpm

The complete virtualbox installation for Fedora I used can be found here.

Installing Gimp goes like this:

yum install gimp

And installing Flash is a bit more involved, but level of difficulty (or ease) is the same as Ubuntu's, in my opinion. The steps for installing Adobe Flash is here.
