I updated via yum, and would never do it any other way. While I love
gui's for working with user data (Open Office, Firefox, etc) I do not
think that they are appropriate for system configuration.

I should point out that while Swiftfox is not much faster than Firefox
in benchmarks, I can certainly feel a difference. It's not so
noticable when going from Firefox to Swiftfox, but going back to
Firefox I see that it is a tad slower. Just enough no be annoying,
like a traffic light that is red for just a few seconds to long.
