Fair enough.  Will stick with yum, although it seems to be much  
slower than apt, as though it has to rebuild the cache every time a  
yum command is issued.

If yum is the method, then what yum repositories do people  
recommend?  Currently I have:

$ ls -1 /etc/yum.repos.d/
fedora-devel.repo
fedora-extras-devel.repo
fedora-extras.repo
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo

I had rpmforge, but removed it because of the conflict with perl-GD.   
Should I reinstall it?  If I do reinstall it, how can I ensure perl- 
GD doesn't get updated?
