Actually, I was told yum would use multiple channels as 'fail-over' channels in the case a server was down, and would use them in the order provided in the config file. Is this not true, or am I missing the point, or what? I do understand we would want ours first if not the only entries for base/os channels, but I'm curious about the working, etc. > I would chose small caps for YUM and APT.

The entries of the These are files done by Jesse, so you need to take it up with him.

I know nothing about that, as I don't know how to configure apt.

I thought about that, and am willing to do so, as long as the people involved are okay with it. I was thinking maybe just first names for now?
