Do you have the yum priorities plug in installed? If not, you should install it and I suggest you give EPEL a very low priority, to protect your system. I installed the EPEL repository a week or two ago and the number of packages being protected on my 32 bit CentOS 5.2 Desktop went from approximately 350 to approximately 1600. <http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities>
