appreciated. I do feel silly just asking for general advice, and not
Googling (I am, but time is restricted) but I need to get up to speed
using CentOS instead of Deb ASAP.. as our servers are deployed next
week. Thank you so much again, I shall get reading! </font></small><br>

Apologies for cluttering the list, but I just wanted to say hello and
prepare all for a barage of silly discussions from a
tech-hypochondriac! We have recently purchased two servers running
CentOS, and as I'm from more of a Debian based background, it would be
good if someone could point out the two or three main differences
please? I'm reading up on the package management as I type, but any
quick tips and tricks for (web) server admin with CentOS would be
magic.
<br>
<br>
Sorry for being cheeky! Hope everyone is well, too.

Well, Welcome :)
<br>
<br>
My 2 cents:
<br>
<br>
1) "yum list all > yla && yum info all > yia" for offline
searching and info reading of packages
<br>
<br>
2) "grep system-config yla" and you'll find the main tools for
configuring the system
<br>
<br>
3) Setup the priorities
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities">"http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities"</a> and add new
repository
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories?action=show&redirect=Repositories">"http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories?action=show&redirect=Repositories"</a>
<br>
<br>
4) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.centos.org">http://wiki.centos.org</a>
<br>
<br>
5) google
<br>
<br>
99) when anything else fails: ask this list ;)
