I went to www.fedoranews.org yesterday and found several helpful tutorials. I used the tutorial about fedora mirrors to modify my yum and up2date configuration to use different mirrors. I initially changed it to a mirror located at Miami University(Ohio) and had a problem with the released updates section. The error messages were very cryptic so I figured out the guilty party by guessing. I got it to work with mirrors in California and left it there. I tested it by installing the Flash-plugin.

Gay Marriage Poll Gets Annulled. The conservative American Family Association hoped an online poll would sway legislators against gay marriages, but a funny thing happened on the way to the altar. By Daniel Terdiman. [Wired News]

I cannot help but laugh at this. Gay activists have always been more passionate about this subject so it should be to no ones surprise that they found out and encouraged each other to participate in the poll. Oops! It was not exactly what the American Family Association expected and it makes them look foolish.
