[Yum] Survey of Use

[Jim Wildman]

At home, I use it to keep several machines up to date.  I let it cron at
night across the dialup.  For installs, I point it at a local repository
of the cd's so I don't have to mess with dependencies.

At work (Bank One), we use it as part of our install scripts and our
last step before turning boxes over to production.  Changes to
production boxes are not applied with yum due to change control
procedures.
