Alrighty, you asked you shall receive! Number one a regular user can't
copy and paste the above code and execute it unless they become root.
2. I looked at the above code and said there is a better way to do that
via using "wget http:\\ | rpm -Uvh webmin-release.rpm.
3. There is "NO" "Webmin Release" rpm so that will not happen. At least
I did not find one at the webmin sight.
4. Is it not standard to have a yum release package in a yum repo? I
thought it was.
5.In theory if the URL for the repo changes but guess what??? No
webmin-release to reflect that change. 
6. Now let me make this very clear. I am in no way saying it is a bad
article. At least you are contributing something to the more advanced
CentOS users.

Questions?
