Well, Welcome :) My 2 cents: 1) "yum list all > yla && yum info all > yia" for offline searching and info reading of packages 2) "grep system-config yla" and you'll find the main tools for configuring the system 3) Setup the priorities "http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities" and add new repository "http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories?action=show&redirect=Repositories" 4) http://wiki.centos.org 5) google 99) when anything else fails: ask this list ;) Regards Lorenzo Quatrini
