[GLLUG] April Meetings

[Richard Houser]

It's really two completely separate topics.  They don't really start to
overlap all that much until you get into the seperate topic of repository
management.

And no, I will not be covering yum.  Frankly, yum is usable now (fails
quite badly if you hook it up to RHN or satellite), but very crappy
compared to the other rpm management tooks (ex. urpmi).

Then again, RedHat has a history of very poor RPM repo management tools.
Yum looks pretty dang awesome compared to the up2date thing they were using
not that many years ago.
