I use CentOS 5.3 i386/x86_64 flavours
A typo erased part of the question (and more googling erased some of the need for it). I was originally asking what howtos to look at, since I couldn't find centos howtos. then I found wiki.centos.org.
Is it really of no interest to anyone else which rev of RH corresponds to which rev of fedora and centos?
If I were you I'd look more into dkms and the dkms-nvidia-packages. Those are more current, than the driver package in nvidia-x11*.
Useful suggestion. The wiki page I was looking at made no helpful distinction between them, so I picked the one that sounded simpler.
Or if all else fails, why not get the proprietary Nvidia drivers?
Well, all else did not fail. And they want me to run a script that does I don't know what, outside the record-keeping that goes with yum/rpm. Also, nvidia's web page made it sound like I was in for an editing session on xorg.conf, which is beyond me. Maybe I misunderstood.

RHEL corresponds pretty well with CentOS, ie RHEL 5.3 is CentOS 5.3 basically. Who cares about Fedora anymore when there's CentOS? ;-)

The script with the proprietary Nvidia driver package is rock-solid AFAICT, never had any problem with it. We used that on this department until I heard about dkms and the dkms-Nvidia-package. No more need, ever, to rerun the driver install, as is usually the case with the proprietary driver and a kernel update. Dkms does all that for you.
