Yes.

And it probably already is installed. How about reading some documentation?

http://centos.org/docs/5/ should keep you busy for a day or two ...

Or just run "yum info openssl" to see.

I think it is kind of dumb that an explict "yum install xxxx" gives the same "nothing to do" response and doesn't distinguish between "xxxx" is already installed" and "xxxx doesn't exist, you probably misspelled it".

I've suggested this twice already, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears...

When someone wants to install webmin it is already a good hint that they don't want to deal with a million command line ways to do things...

One of several reasons that I usually install the k12ltsp re-spun versions of Centos and fedora is that besides adding the ltsp package to boot thin clients it also includes some extra yum repos pre-configured and push-button commands to install several handy things that aren't actually part of the distro: flash, acrobat, java, MS fonts, webmin, etc. (http://www.k12ltsp.org).

Yes. But one should at least know the package management tools (hey, yumex is there, also) of the distribution one uses. And the yum documentation isn't really that long ...

Or - use a distribution like k12ltsp that comes set up with appropriate repositories out of the box so everyone doesn't have to repeat the work of tracking them down and figuring out how to use them.
