I'm new to Fedora and Yum, just getting on the bandwagon on Test 3. I'm a convert from Mandrake, which is *NOT* more user-friendly, easier to install, easier to update or have better hardware and network detection on install than Fedora, contrary to popular opinion. But, that's for another thread. And whether Fedora is a "project" or "product" intended for "hobbyists" or "non-corporate home users" doesn't really matter to me, since it seems intended to stand up against the other major distros and DOES! This thread is for the perfect Yum.conf file. http://www.fedoratracker.org has just added the ability to generate Apt and Yum config files but FC2 repositories are just changing over so it's not yet complete. So, maybe we can help each other develop the perfect Yum.conf file. Define "perfect" however you choose. Add, delete and modify, according to your free will with this free distro. My version of perfect is to add Dag, FreshRPMs, etc, when I find the right F2 code. Your version of perfect might be something different. This is what I have so far... What say you?
