Hello, I am new to Linux. I come from FreeBSD, and I am used to the idea that if I need to add a package, I can do so through the ports tree. On Fedora, I have come to a similar accomodation. I added LIVNA to my yum repositories like so: rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4-0.lvn.5.4.noarch.rpm Now I can "yum install" most anything on Fedora. :) And I have an RHEL box, needs a bunch of Perl modules. I have consulted TFM at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-rpm-using.html and they say I should use RPM, and first I have to find the .rpm files, and I should look: http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html Well, that's a list of Fedora mirrors ... uhmmm ... * Red Hat Network — Refer to Chapter 17 Red Hat Network for more details on Red Hat Network Chapter 17 makes RHN look like some GUI admin tool for keeping the Base OS up to date. I want to find a trusted repository of Perl modules, etc. Pointers on where I should go and what I should read?
