2010-06-03 Thread Roderick A. Anderson
Are there any gotchas I need to look out for when upgrading via yum? CentOS 5.3 (man I better get the server updated.) I see a message in January about installing on CentOS and the recommendation of using the EPEL repo. Rpmforge, EPEL? Any advantages to either? TIA, Rod -- ---
