Dear friends:

[Using the Centos 4.4 DVD)

I will spend the next few days reading the documentation for Centos/RedHat.
But meanwhile, I would like, while reading it, to listen to my favorite radio
programs which require RealPlayer. So, my question is simply: should I
download the RealPlayer RPM from www.real.com or should I download it from an
rpm repository source? While I am at, what about other programs such as
Acrobat Reader, Java, etc.?

Thank you so much.

Benjamin
