yummir, manage mirror servers in /etc/yum.conf

[Peter Smith]

That's a good point.  What, exactly, is the difference between "yummir" 
and "yummy"??

Yummy (http://www.abo.fi/~tjunnone/yummy/)
"Yummy is a Yum repository manager that aims to make locating and 
installing Linux software repositories easier. Yum itself is a software 
package distribution, update and installation system. Yummy is at the 
moment targeted only for users of the Fedora Project Linux distribution."

Did you mean to call "yummir" "yummier" ??

I'm confused...  Are these two apps the same thing?  It looks like 
"yummy" has a GTK interface, that looks interesting...  However I like 
command-line for my updates/low-level stuph.
