I don't think that I used that particular page to help with the process. (It may well have been before it was written.) In any event, I didn't install the priorities plugin. (Didn't know that it existed.) And in time I did have problems with the rpmforge repo serving up rpms that were newer than what the centos repos had, and that caused dependency problems. I ended up disabling the rpmforge repo. I've since switched to centos6. I did find that page this time around, and cut and paste chunks out of it to install what needed to be installed. But I still didn't install the priorities plugin. And thus far, I haven't needed it. I installed centos6 and rpmforge-release in back in July, and they've been playing nicely together ever since. With that said, I'm not sure that I've seen an update from rpmforge in that time. I've seen plenty from centos, particularly after I installed the cr repo. It might be that centos6 is keeping up enough to stay ahead of rpmforge.
