Thank you Silviu,
Very simple and straight forward. I followed a previous thread that
discussed the sources.list.d directory, but didn't quite connect the
dots. With your advise, I looked at a few of my systems and found that
Google parks the repo for their Chrome browser there. That example
should help me debug any problems.
As far as the yumrepo, I'm still smarting from Red Hat going all
enterprisie ... I jumped 5 machines to Gentoo, and after 3 years of
daily compiles, I twitch a bit when the Ubuntu Update Manager pops
up ;-)
Thanks again!
