[WBEL-users] whitebox: the pros and cons of hitchiking

[Mario Gamito]

Hi Magnus,

Thank you for your precious tip.
This weekend (when the bandwidth of my company is not at stress, both
for us and our clients :) i'll mirror centos 3.1 and i will install it
in a server.

I liked to see the manuals included in the tree.

Does centos have an updates repository that works with yum ?

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
