    I'm a complete noob when it comes to linux so please bare with me.

    I'm trying to install Lxadmin SSE on my dedicated server using # 
    $ wget http://download.lxlabs.com/download/lxadmin/production/lxadmin-install-master.sh
$ sh ./lxadmin-install-master.sh
    Code (markup):
    and have many problems. First the problem that I have to have up2date installed. Did some googling and found that I can use yum to install up2date. I tried the command 
    yum install up2date
    Code (markup):
    but nothing happens. I then decided to download yum-3.2.7.tar.gz using 
    wget http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/3.2/yum-3.2.7.tar.gz
    Code (markup):
    but notice something, how do I execute/install it?

    I now need help asap!

    That should work for you. The .tar.gz you had is most likely the source which you would need to compile. The instructions for that would have most likely been in the read me. They would have been along the lines of something like

    ./configure
    make test
    make install


    But I would got the rpm way it's a lot easier :)

    Well, what install (minimal, server, etc) did you do on the server? Usually centos4 install includes yum as far as I've seen.

    Yes, the RPM will work for you.
