> Do most people use Internet yum-repositories or roll their own? > Duke uses both :) people who run linux at home and want to use yum use the mirror.dulug.duke.edu people on duke's network use our internal servers which are faster and have more/different pkgs (we do some other stuff internally) > I've been wget-ing the redhat 8 binary updates on my home server and > updating all my machines with yum from there.

Mirror.dulug syncs multiples times a day for the updates rsync tree from red hat. We have a fairly good connection to them as well. But our machine is slow and in need of some love :) > Also, you have the issue of trust to deal with when you use a repository > that someone else maintains. well, sorta. I'm just mirroring red hat directly. Use the gpgcheck and grab red hat's key - if it doesn't match, well then you have an answer ;) -sv
