Use yum to manage your packages and stop using rpm!

I hate seeing the RPMDB altered message when doing yum updates!

Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.

For that reason, I tell sysadmins when installing or upgrading rpms to use:

yum -y install <rpm file>

and to use

yum -y remove <rpm name>

to remove the rpm you want.
