Sorry, will not be able to go, I am trying to understand the benefits of

I'm not an expert at RPM in any way, but if you follow the instructions
given by Brian at the Yips site (hosted by idevcloud.com ) it seems to
work the same way as the Linux one does, at least in my CentOS version.
I had VIM up and running on one of the COMMON lab machines in no more
than 10 minutes including downloads.

If your going to COMMON Annual Meeting, I'll be at ask the experts near
the Yips table to discuss my findings. Brian's the expert, but I gained
some insight into the process while doing it.
