I am very glad that I asked the original question as it is clearing a whole
lot up and also sparking some more conversation.  I appreciate
the replies...and also look forward to the continuing discussion.

My plan is to just continue to use yum and "keep things simple"...
I have used apt in the past and find it also nice....I also use
YaST in SUSE and find that nice....I am also watching SMART
and see a lot in that...

But I use ONE and only ONE method for an installation so for me
it's just a matter of finding the correct combination of repositories and
living happily ever after!!!
