What Fedora version equates to Cent 5? I would like to use the Fedora repos (if possible). Please advise.
You can't just use fedora produced RPMS on centos. The supporting libraries are not the same. When the upstream SRPMS (source files) used to create CentOS are produced (in this case RHEL-5 sources from from a pre-release of Fedora Core 6), there is a fairly small window of time when MOST of the supporting libraries are the same.
By the time both distros are released however, the libraries have usually changed to the point that you SHOULD NEVER use fedora RPMS directly on CentOS.
If you really want functionality that is not in CentOS, RPMForge, ATRPMS, EPEL, or KBS-CentOS-Extras but is in fedora, then you should rebuild the SRPMS against the CentOS libraries.
