Hi.  I'm fairly new with CentOS but have been using version 4.2 with 
great satisfaction (Thank you!).  I've been using repos such as Dag and 
Dries successfully to keep my packages up to date.  (I've seen many 
posts which allow me to believe that these repos won't change CentOS 
compatibility to RHEL4 or to migrate it another distro for that 
matter!)  My question applies to the ATRpms repo (which has el4 rpms).  
Can I safely use this repo to "yum update" my system?  When I added the 
repo to the yum repos (and to the up2date repos as well), I noticed more 
than 100 packages to be updated (some seem to be system packages like 
alsa-lib, autoconf, glib2, etc.)  Can I update with this repo and 
maintain same basic system and functionality?  Thanks for your answers.

Sincerely
Jose
