Clint: Why do you use the "exclude=kernel"?
I perceive kernel-related things as pretty serious business, so I have exclude=kernel* in my /etc/yum.conf for personal preference, really. Since I have my yum service set to update nightly, I prefer to read carefully the announcements of kernel* updates, and set aside the time to do them manually, if they apply to the particular box.
I have an nVidia graphics card also, which means that I have to take time out to "deal" with their driver issue. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn't go so well. Either way, I'd prefer that kernel not be automated.
[...]
Elsewhere on the list, you'll see my questions about hardware, which relate to this thread, in that I want to build own box, so that it has a minimum of fuss when the kernel updates come out, and still allow me to play a mean game of TuxRacer or Neverball every now and again!
