Hi Dene:

I'm not going to try to suggest or imagine what Aaron had in mind.
However, if I was going to use yum to install server software as he
suggested the first approach I'd take is to determine whether yum even
sees it.  In other words, can yum find it, and tell me what is
available.  Of course, after that then I should be able to determine
whether I actually want to install it.

Here is the sequence I invoked from within the terminal:

[aguila at arakus ~]$ sudo yum info "*server*" > listservers

Explanation:  I'm using sudo because I was in user mode at the time.
If you haven't set up the sudoers file and registered your user name
into it, doing what I did won't work.  You'll have to just switch into
su mode and then execute yum.  Using the same command sequence that
would be:

#yum info "*server*" > listservers

Yum is being told (whether or not you use sudo) to collect any name
which contains the word server and put that list into a filename called
listservers.  This file can then be opened using the editor of my
choice, which for me is vim.  Doing the search this way is rather
simple because you don't have to worry about capturing the output as it
rolls off beyond your terminal.  The file once you open it, happens to
be 751 lines long -- you should be able to find something you need or
otherwise determine to be useful.  

If your file is shorter, don't worry about that.  My version of yum is
also searching the libraries of Fedora Extras; yours may not be.

The next part is up to you.  Just choose what package to install.
Let's say I've just got to have the westnorth or torque server.  Just
check to insure that there are no other packages which contain that
name.  Then do:

#yum install "west*ser*r"

or 

#yum install "torq*ser*"

Of course, if I want everything having to do with any server then do:

#yum install "*server*"

Good Luck...
