Although I found no online page that would describe this, the # apt-get
upgrade alternative on Fedora seems to be # yum update.
From the man pages of yum:
update --- If run without any packages, update will update every
currently
installed package. If one or more packages or package globs are
specified, Yum will ...

Command Line Tools
There is a Fedora-specific command line interface to bugzilla provided by the python-bugzilla package. This may be the closest to thing to Debian's reportbug.
As an alternative, you can try the generic command line interface provided by the pybugz package. However, this is not a Fedora-specific tool.
There is another Fedora-specific ...

Before Fedora 17
None of the Red Hat distros prior to Fedora 17 included the ability to do dist-upgrades as you've asked. This had been a long discussed option on many peoples' wish list but had never been implemented.
But before we start a clarification...
According to the Upgrading topic in the wiki, there was a method
where you could put a DVD in ...

Fedora's server edition is provided by netinstall or "normal" install image. I think server version can't be installed from Live-cd. From here you can download netinstall-iso or normal iso. And when you are installing it, there is screen where you for example set server where installer downloads packages (netinstall), there is also option "Choose packages" ...

Haven't used Fedora in a while, but it should still be very similar to CentOS. I did this on CentOS 6.
Copy /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo:1
Your new config should look like so:
DEVICE=lo:1
IPADDR=169.254.169.254
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback1
Restart the network service service network ...

A web application running on a hopelessly outdated operating system with no support... migrate that to a new version of CentOS ASAP. And in the process check carefully that no unauthorized changes have been made.
Be careful, your uninvited guests might get angry, and I wouldn't like to cross a mob of that size.

An alternative method is to disable this through plymouth:
plymouth-set-default-plugin text
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd
If you're interested in more about plymouth check out the references to it below. It's what powers the bootsplash for Red Hat based distros.

I think the problem here is that Fedora does not use sysV system runlevels anymore (I had similar problem with Archlinux) so above examples doesn't work anymore.
Instead it uses systemd targets, which can be specified as following:
kernel=vmlinuz parameter_and_so_on systemd.unit=multi-user
multi-user boots into what is equal to sysV 3 runlevel. If that ...

Turning off 3D acceleration in the VM's configuration will fix it. There's a bug with some of the packages on the CD. After installing to the VM and running updates you can turn 3D acceleration back on.
Here is the ask.fedoraproject link that I saw: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/10024/fedora-18-impossible-to-use-on-vmware-9/

I know this is an old question but I just found a suitable answer.
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings antialiasing rgba
This renders all fonts so much nicer.
To apply the same to the GDM:
$ xhost +SI:localuser:gdm
$ sudo -u gdm gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings antialiasing rgba
Screenshot as ...
