Well, for RPM based distributions my personal preference is to use the 'rpmforge' distribution. See the CentOS wiki for some notes on how to do this safely and effectively. http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge However, like any third party repository of packages you will need to form a judgement on how much you like and trust them. (Also, don't assume that I have any basis other than habit for my selection of that repository. :) Regards, Daniel -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
