Andrea 3df8a4b380 yum: add "provides" example (#1132)
"yum provides" is incredibly useful when you come from a different distro,
and you don't know exactly what package provides a particular command.

# yum
> Package management utility for RHEL, Feodra, and CentOS (for older versions).
- Synchronize list of packages and versions available. This should be run first, before running subsequent yum commands:
`yum update`
- Install a new package:
`yum install {{package}}`
- Install a new package and assume yes to all questions (also works with update, great for automated updates):
`yum -y install {{package}}`
- Find the package that provides a particular command:
`yum provides {{command}}`
- Remove a package:
`yum remove {{package}}`
- Upgrade installed packages to newest available versions:
`yum upgrade`
