ATrpms will replace several base RPMS ... as to whether or not that is
what you want, that is up to you.
I am normally very careful what RPMS I add to my system that are
external to the CentOS repos.
I do use Dag's repo (usually with a "includepkgs=" set so that I only
update packages that I know about).
I am very careful though, and other people have use Dag, Dries and
ATrpms without problems ... so maybe I am just a little bit too
cautious.
