Why does yum give different results at different locations?

[Arch Willingham]

10-4.....I have always wondered how it picks mirrors - I just always let yum pick its wherever it picks automatically. Regardless, last night around midnight, it finally got the new updates.

Thanks!

Arch

An hour later, when I get home I will attempt the same thing on my laptop and it just comes back with "No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion". For example, this is a run from my laptop:

Might be that the machine at home is pointing to different mirror (and
isn't sync'd yet) than the ones from work (and that/those are in sync).
You might try pointing to individual mirrors to see what works good for
you and than try that one.
