thanks to everyone who wrote me about this.  I should have remembered yum.

When I run something like:

yum list |grep -i vorbis

I get the following output:

libvorbis.i386                           1:1.1.2-3.el5_4.4             installed
libvorbis-devel.i386                     1:1.1.2-3.el5_4.4             updates
vorbis-tools.i386                        1:1.1.1-3.el5                 base

'installed' is pretty obvious, but what to the others mean?  Or does it 
matter?

Geoff, who is surprised there doesn't seem to be an Icecast package in the 
Sentos repository.
