CentOS is simply great. I use it as my main desktop. I use VMWare clients for any "special needs" software. I am struggling a bit with the plethora of repos and looking for some advice.

I use CentOS 5.0 as "stealth" desktop system in town halls and public libraries here (South France).

I use the CentOS repos with the yum-priorities plugin, and then rpmforge. Everything that is not provided, I do either:

1) check out Fedora Core 6 SRPMs and build the binary package on my system. See the WiKi page for how to build packages as normal user.

2) And if I can't find it there (example: xmms-wma), I check out the .spec file in the freshrpms repo, download the corresponding source, and that does the job.

Cheers,

Niki Kovacs
