Ok, so I've been using testing enabled in my yum.conf for some time now.
What's the easiest way to report that "everything is fine"?
yum list installed
doesn't seem to report whether an RPM is in "testing" or "regular". But, FYI,
I've attached a copy of the output. Uptime is currently 76 days using the
latest kernel. 2.4.22-1.2199.5.legacy.nptl
