Just a quick saying to encourage you: wisdom is knowledge learned through mistakes. Building things is good, but breaking things let's you learn how to build better things.

I now know at least a half dozen ways to hose a solid CentOS Xen install. That's a good thing, I learn from mistakes. Like forgetting to actually completely configure priority statements in the repo confs.
In the past I have used yum protect-base, but about a year ago or so I switched to yum priorities because it seems a bit more granular.
Is there a recommended preference on CentOS Xen installs? I'm pretty conservative now and won't go near Plus or Contribs, I do have Convirt repos in and it looks like they pulldown a couple dependencies from RPMForge (paramiko and socat).
I don't plan on anymore repos, but am wary enough to want to nail my last install down.
Any prefs here for CentOS Xen? Yum Protect-base or Priorities?
