I use packages as much as I can and will spend the
time building RPMS is needed-because of all the
benefits it brings to the table. YUM is great. The
new versions of RHEL will now be using YUM as well.
I think how you manage and maintain your cluster
(whatever the size) determines if you go home at a
reasonable hour and get to stay home on weekends. And
it determines how much processing is performed-and
that after all is why we have our jobs.
