This is offtopic for this list but I'll bring it up anyway. If you find yum has helped you free up some available time for other things please consider contributing to the fedora legacy or fedora core(especially the bug triaging) projects. Or contribute to the Caos(I think I got the capitalization wrong) project. If yum is helping you then maybe you have time available to help others. If anyone wants more information on either of these projects google is your bestest friend. :) http://fedora.redhat.com/ - fedora core project http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraTriage - fedora bug triage http://www.fedora.us/QA/ - fedora.us QA queue http://caosity.org - caos project Thanks, -sv
