Frankly, the helpful Paul was that ;)

Benjamin isn't really running RHEL but Scientific Linux - a "clone"
system like CentOS. Though it seems to use yum too, versions differ and
thus you can not simply take an add-on which would match for a specific
Fedora release and use it with RHEL/clone.

Dear Timothy,

hope you don't mind that I reply to your message this way, reacting both
on Rahul's comment and your previous one. Maybe you have legitimate
rights to call my reply to Benjamin pedantic - but I think I have good
reasons to distinguish between RHEL or rebuild system and Fedora.
Besides the technical questions / differences I think each distribution
should support their own users. I wouldn't have said much if I hadn't
the serious impression his questions were most if not all so far
regarding his RHEL clone system. If you review hist postings you will
find several indications (i.e. when posting the output showing rpm
package names).
So far my justification.

Regards

Alexander
