Hello List

What is the difference in meaning between "Repo" and "Repository" in the
following:


[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# yum info libfaac0.i686

And lastly for completeness, is there a key to the last column produced
by yum list?  E.g. what's the meaning of the "@" symbol and "installed"
with reference to repositories?

I'm sorry if this all seems very basic, but I've got myself a little
confused.

Many thanks,
M.
