I'm sure that I expressed the question correctly in my original email; 
here it is again:

Greetings,

Apologies for my seeming daft naivete.

I'm wondering if there any sort of conventions for using Wordpress on 
CentOS?

Generally until now, I have had users install Wordpress from tarballs on a 
case-by-case basis. This means that you can have several different 
versions of WordPress operating on
a site.

With the RPM you have a version that can be consistent across multiple 
websites on one server.

Is this done through the use of symlinks, or is there some other, 
additional magic that gets put to use.

I've done a little searching of the Google genie, but I'm only led to 
webpages outlining installing Wordpress from tarballs.

So, I can follow the necessary instructions for installing Wordpress from 
tarballs. But I run a multi-user, multi-virtual host server. Consequently, 
I'm wondering if it is possible to use the wordpress centos rpms, and 
utilize a mechanism such as symlinks for the sake of consistency and 
upgrades?

Thanks.
