Number one a regular user can't copy and paste the above code and execute it unless they become root. 2. I looked at the above code and said there is a better way to do that via using "wget http:\\ | rpm -Uvh webmin-release.rpm. 3. There is "NO" "Webmin Release" rpm so that will not happen. At least I did not find one at the webmin sight. 4. Is it not standard to have a yum release package in a yum repo? I thought it was. 5.In theory if the URL for the repo changes but guess what??? No webmin-release to reflect that change. 6. Now let me make this very clear. I am in no way saying it is a bad article. At least you are contributing something to the more advanced CentOS users.
