Thanks for the feedback! I'll update the article in the next few days with your 
suggestions.

I agree the php-mcrypt part of the article isn't very nice but it is an extra 
and there are a few forum posts asking how to add it. phpMyAdmin throws up an 
error on its login page if you don't have it installed. phpMyadmin still works 
without mcrypt installed but who likes seeing errors?

For Nut I am talking about 'nut-2.2.0-6.el5' and 'nut-client-2.2.0-6.el5' which 
do reside on the EPEL repository.

I'd be more then happy to create a TFTP article. I've got documentation already 
written from one of my clients where I set it up for them.

On the repo config - I'd suggest creating a separate CentOS-Testing.repo 
rather than adding to the existing CentOS-Base.repo, and no need to 
specify the editor (vim) and risk getting into religious arguments. :-)

Use of the yum-priorities plugin and the implications of using 
"includepkgs=php*" in the repo config should be addressed.

The php-mcrypt stuff is pretty ugly with the non-yum installation via 
wget and using rpm with --nodeps.  Sorry that I don't have a cleaner 
solution to propose, but perhaps someone else may.

There have been a lot of questions lately on TFTP on the forum.  Having 
a Wiki article to point to would be good.

As far as nut - are you going to address the EPEL packages, or those 
from some other source?
