Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Configuring the Yum source for CentOS

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Configuring the Yum source for CentOS

Introduction: Because the use of Redhat official Yum source needs to register to purchase the Server service, otherwise you will be prompted to register, or can not find the source of Rehat. But CentOS is the free version of Redhat, except for log and some unimportant things, the others are the same. Even the kernel source code is the same. So we can use CentOS's yum source instead of Redhat's Yum source.

 python-iniparse-0.3.1-2.1.el6.noarch.rpm
   yum-3.2.29-69.el6.centos.noarch.rpm
   yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-16.el6.i686.rpm
   yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.30-30.el6.noarch.rpm
