Thanks for that feedback Hugo.

This does make a good case for adding support for CentOS 4. I don't have 
any older CentOS, only RHEL so I wasn't aware that CentOS shipped with 
yum for this to be useful.

Since you have made a good case, I have now updated the plugin to have 
compatibility for the older python 2.3, so pls try the latest version 
0.6.6 and let me know how that goes for you on the old systems.
