[ale] EL3.0 comparable to Fedora 1,2 or RH9?

[Doug McNash]

Check out 

http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/faq.html

about the middle of the page lists a few apt repositories I have not

Whitebox Linux (~=REL3.0) uses yum and provides a update repository. 
Yum seems to work as well as apt but unfortuatly the Whitebox sites seem
to have bandwith problems.
