This is NOT 1984 anymore. :-D We are SPOILED. (of course I still
run NET USE and XCOPY from a command window.)

Knowledge is a dangerous thing....
Given all that yum claims why is RPM still used so much?
From what I read here, if there is a package I want that is not in a
yum repository like Scalix CE, I would download the rpm, then use yum
with that rpm file. That way I would take care of any dependencies
needed by Scalix.
If there was an update to a package not in the yum repository, I
would download said package and again use you.
