Typical screaming of of typical user of one of "the best" commercial Linux:
I recently installed 64-bit CentOS 5.3 on my PC. I can't get yum to work. If I run applications > system tools > software updater, i get the following error:
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again
If i run yum intsall as su from a terminal window I get the following error:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* c5-media:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again

I left RedHat for sake of Debain in 2002. I wonder how many efforts were made to turn RedHat in this shit since then.
How could they manage things to make packaging system a nightmare?
