Does CentOS Support Aspell?
I haven’t run CentOS on a machine of my own for several years;
but my domain (NOT the address I post from) is hosted on a machine running CentOS. The list for the mailer I run recommends using aspell, which is not installed (according to rpm -q) on the remote host, as a spellchecker.
Does anybody here know offhand if CentOS supports it? Or how do I
check?

Summary : Spell checker Description :
GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up with possible suggestions than just about any other spell checker out there for the English language, including Ispell and Microsoft Word. It also has many other technical enhancements over Ispell such as using shared memory for dictionaries and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once.
Don’t use RPM, use yum which is the supported installer:
# yum list aspell Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
