CentOS - Jul 2013 - Adding browsers

Recently, I put CentOS 6.4 on one of the four PCs I keep behind a 
KVM switch. I like it a whole lot in most ways, but Fedora has spoiled 
me : I install almost every browser I can, and generally keep half a 
dozen or more open, mostly with several tens of tabs open.  Iow, I use 
browsers as I used to use books, back in the Carboniferous when I had a 
desk in the stacks.

	Are there ways a subtechnoid can run Arora, Dillo, Epiphany, 
Konqueror, Midori, Kazehakase, Rekonq, Opera, and Pan on this CentOS -- 
without falling into the bad old pit of dependency hell?

Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Wow, I thought I knew many different browsers!

Arora: If you mean Firefox Aurora, alpha software is axiomatically not 
supported by CentOS. You can go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-
US/firefox/all-aurora.html and download it there.

Konqueror: Install kdebase.

Pan is a newsreader, not a Web browser.

I can't help with the others. For your purposes, Debian might be a 
better distribution.

I've never found Fedora to be too terribly unstable when I've used it. 
You
may have a choice to make, use Firefox and Chromium (since Johnny is
awesome and packages it for EL6) on CentOS or reinstall Fedora and have
access to a larger selection of bleeding-edge software.

And although slightly hokey, you could always have CentOS on bare metal and
Fedora in a VM for the days where you feel like running Arora or Midori,
etc.

Third party repo, if the packages exist.

Slightly OT, I believe Kazehakase is a dead project [0] [1].

As John Pierce said, these packages are something EPEL or another
third-party repo would package and provide.
