Re: yum gui?

[Erich Schroeder <erich@museum.state.il.us>]

I know of kyum (kde of course) and yumex (yum extender). Both work, 
although maybe not quite as well as synaptic.

Kyum: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22185

Yumex link: http://fedoranews.org/tchung/yumex/

To add a question to this response, is there a way within yum to do the 
equivelant of "pinning" in apt? I mix repositories (don't bother telling 
me I shouldn't, I'm just going to continue on my non-production 
machines) and I'd like to give some of the repositories more weight.
