I agree completely.  I don't see any real showstoppers that would

I agree, but I think the earlier comments have some validity though.
It would be far more useful if certain key apps (e.g. FireFox and
OpenOffice, I'm sure each of us has their own "key app" list) were
kept up-to-date, perhaps in an alternative repo.  And for supporting a
large deployment, they need to be a repo, building/installing manually
just isn't an option.


Man, you have the Centos plus repo, and if that does not make you happy, you have all the tools you need to roll your own repo. What is this about building/installing manually?
