It is dependent on distribution.
Distributions I know are using yum:
fedora
centos
whitebox
Tao
Scientific Enterprise Linux
Yellow Dog Linux
<your name here>
There's no way to provide a single config file for all of them.
If you want to be on the leading edge of the yum development code then
you can either:
- wait for your distribution to release a package
- make your own yum.conf
-sv
