Please advise.---- you probably should check out EPEL repository...probably has what you're looking for but in answer to your question, RHEL 5 was largely produced from Fedora 6 packages Craig

See <http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/> for a list of repositories. Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

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.
