Well, let's see. I use yum for updating and installing packages from my
own mirror/repo (mirrors.usc.edu/pub/yum-repository/{redhat,mandrake}),
and for handling my own packages (mirrors.usc.edu/pub/yum-repository/hpc
and polop.usc.edu/pub/rpms). I don't use any 3rd party repos like
fresh or at.
That doesn't sound like much info, but I can't think of what else to
say.
