Hi All; after years of running free Linux distros I've finally come to a place where I must have solid stability for my work laptop so I've purchased RHEL Workstation. I like it well enough - however I'd like to install digikam and get my system to play mp3's. I'm thinking I could get both of these from a centos repository. What do you'all think? If so, could someone point me to the correct repo(s) and the packages I'd need for playing mp3's? Thanks in advance

What do you'all think?There is a known issue (and a workaround) with digikam at the moment. You can find more details here: http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/users/2010-January/002854.html Akemi
