I have done so with CentOS in the past. The main issue is that Cobbler
works best when you mirror a version-architecture tree (as in 5.2/i386
5.2/x86_64 4.7/etc.) Trying to mirror ALL of XYZ Linux in one set does
not work well. I found that out the hard way.. Personally I just set
it up to mirror a tree for CentOS and had a cron job that updated the
updates.
