[Centos] Comming from WhiteBox Linux ...

[Greg Kurtzer]

My thought is that simply changing your yum.conf to point at the Centos
repositories should be sufficient. The other packages are not needed, but if
the centos repos ever move, it would be nice to just be able to update your
yumconf packages and get to the new repository.

On a similar topic:

I have seen many people now that actually purchased RHEL migrate to the Centos
repos because up2date was too slow and painful for them. And BTW, it works
perfectly! The interesting thing was that the Centos packages where we had 
to fix RH branding/trademark issues had newer released, thus they were updated 
from the default RH packages to Centos, which means those systems are now free 
from the RH marks as well...

I wonder if they would still have to pay a license to RH for those systems...

Rick, are you lurking?
