When I installed CentOS the repo list included base, extras, and<br>
updates. I have added rpmforge and epel. The originally installed repos<br>
did not provide a number of desktop functions and applications,<br>
especially for a KDE desktop, which I prefer.<br>
<br>
What other repos are available from CentOS that provide non-RHEL stuff<br>
-- especially apps that permit the playback of common video codecs that<br>
appear throughout the web?<br>
