Do you really care what my actual home system and network is I am sure yours will be bigger, better and faster.

For anyone who is trying to find one here's a repository i have found which on the face of it looks good

http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/

www.atrpms.net and www.freshrpms.net are worth a look as well, though I find it's best to just choose 1 of the 3.

Apparetly there can be problems if you have a combination of the 3 lised so far enabled concurrently.  Personally I have found Fedora Extras and the Livna site covers most of my needs - especially for MP3 codecs and DVD codecs.

The box said "needs Windows 2000 or better" so I installed Fedora Core 6

I wont post what i think of Fedora here i will create a new post to give my recent experiences with it. ( It will not be a positive post ........So Fedora fan boys dont bother reading. I am not trying to start a ditsro flame war it will just be real world issues & experiences so it will be all fact based)

But you comment about running different repos concurrently isnt really true......

You need to install & set up yum-priorities (this will be in your distro's base repo fedora/redhat/centos etc) in yum so that you dont end up getting in a mess with packages.

Also worth looking at setting up in this scenario is yum-fastestmirror  both are easy to setup if you want i will post a basic tutorial. But just google and you will find loads of How-To's.

I hope this helps.
