Coming back to life


"Coming Back To Life"
PINK FLOYD

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun

Thanks!

Installing RPMforge for CentOS 5

The default RPMforge repository does not replace any CentOS base packages. In the past it used to, but those packages are now in a separate repository (rpmforge-extras) which is disabled by default.
You can find a complete listing of the RPMforge package packages at http://packages.sw.be/
Download the rpmforge-release package. Choose one of the two links below, selecting to match your host's architecture. If you are unsure of which one to use you can check your architecture with the command uname -i



The preferred rpmforge-release package to retrieve and to install in order to enable that repository is one of the two listed above.
Install DAG's GPG key

rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
 
Verify the package you have downloaded 
 
rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.*.rpm
 
Security warning: The rpmforge-release package imports GPG keys into your RPM database.  As long as you have verified the md5sum of the key injection package, and trust Dag, et al., then it should be as safe as your trust of them extends. 
 
Install the package 
 
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.*.rpm
 
This will add a yum repository config file and import the appropriate GPG keys.
Then try to install something like this

yum install htop
