I wouldn't. You should use *either*, not both. In fact, I believe that
some rpmforge packages may even conflict with the base distro. What do you
need in rpmforge that isn't available from base, rpmfusion, or epel? The
only thing I know of are some kmod packages from elrepo, and I have the
elrepo.repo configuration so that either it's not enabled by default, or I
only get specific packages for a specific machine from it (like an old
NVIDIA card).
