CentOS - Apr 2007 - Which repositores?

Hello all

I'm new to RHEL/CentOS so I'm wondering what repositories people
add/enable to get all the extras they want? Especially multimedia stuff.
I tried to enable [contrib] but that didn't seem to be available (yet).
I then added rpmforge and atrpms which seem to work. However I've read
that atrpms may wreak havoc on my installation; is it best to keep it
disabled? What about rpmforge?
I found something called kbs-CentOS-Misc as well but it was not
available.

So, what repositories do you suggest for a workstation type of
installation?

Follow the guide on the wiki dealing with exactly this question.

I've personally never had any issues with RPMForge, KBS-Extras, or
Atrpms. Just follow the guides for setting up ProtectBase and/or other
Yum plugins protections, such as yum-plugin-priorites and you'll be fine.

I've installed many packages on production servers and workstations from
the mentioned repos, and never had any issues. But still, use things
carefully.

Regards,
Max
