I maintain several RHEL and CentOS clusters.

I never install anything from source. Packages from yum repositories only.

Upgrade OpenOffice with a downloaded RPM? No. The point of RedHat is stability for enterprises. If you want the latest version of everything, RedHat is the wrong distribution.

This was RedHat Linux, not RHEL. This was _way_ before the RHEL/Fedora split.

Aha -- I saw RedHat 6 and read "RHEL 6"
