Not sure whether this is a big number or not:

[root at fubar ~]# rpm -qa | wc -l
1364
[root at fubar ~]# uname -a
Linux fubar.local.davenjudy.org 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 #1 SMP Sat Feb 10 
15:16:31 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've had more problems on my i686 desktop but that was due to mixing the 
wrong combination of repositories (Dries and Livna).  Incompatible repos 
seems to be more of an issue than yum itself.  I keep the laptop fairly 
sane since I only use it for a limited number of things.  The desktop 
tends to accumulate stuff (and incompatibilities) since that's where I 
play.  Not sure how to handle this since "the right thing" would be for 
everyone to build to the same standard (you can stop laughing now).

Cheers,
Dave
