7.1-9 plus the betas are yumified (with groups) on linuxserv.uga.edu (see
/linux/yum for sample configs) and we'll be doing fedora (core and extras)
as well.  In fact, we don't like y'alls (ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu) mirror
so we're going to be become an official /  userbase redhat mirror RSN :-P

Just the one on the Yum page, that I'm aware of.
