It's a sweet potato.

Or, if you're Dan Quayle,
it's a sweet potatoe.

They look a bit like the head of Grandpa Simpson, without the glasses.

Lovely things.

I once used one to protect my home from a prowler.
Had a special yam for that joker, I did.

Whomp!

Yam 1, reproductive system ZERO.

Math rocks.

Yam is used to setup local mirrors of yum / atp / uptodate
repositories for fedora and other rpm systems. Grate if you have a lot
of servers to update / install, it save a lot of badwidth.

I just couldn't resist the opportunity. But it's The Riddler who poses
the conundrums, and Batman who usually answered it, or his
blinken-lights computer... ;-)

Having said that, if you looked at the page referred to by the supplied
address, it did explain the situation, right at the very top of the
page. The thing's simply been renamed.

Regards,
Tim (who preferred the over-the-top old TV series to the modern films).
