There are some minor errors in this one, such as the part that says we 
only have about 15 installations :)

Just from the centos-5-testing repo, as of 1st Oct we had 281 installs ( 
so, cobbler + deps were downloaded 281 times using yum ). And the 
cobbler rpm was downloaded another 68 times not using yum ( useragent 
check ). Considering we tell people not use the testing repo, thats 
quite a large number.

Lets see if we can push that number a bit further with cobbler going 
into the main centos repo's.

Good info, thanks!

I know we are unable to get accurate download numbers from Fedora and 
EPEL, so that's good info to have.   

Fairly promising as we haven't advertised the presence in CentOS testing 
hardly at all, so I would suspect that is largely users finding
things from yum search after enabling the testing repo.

(FYI -- repoview on your page seems broken for C5 -- 
http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/, but not C4 )

Neat.
