Also, isn't there a way to download the packages / apps that you want
directly from the homepage? for instance Debian didn't come with the
latest version of LibreOffice, so my friend just went to the LibreOffice
site and downloaded and installed the latest version. Not sure if this
is the same with .rpm based distros but I don't see why not? This would
also allow you to be "selective" and use / install JUST the packages you
need or want without dealing with changing or messing with your repos.
