rhel additional repositories

sycamorex · 05-30-2008, 04:18 PM

Hi,
I've some time ago I installed RHEL 5.1 (30-day evaluation version) to practise for the the rhce exam. I'd like to keep the system as close to RHEL as possible, however, the standard repositories seem to be lacking
a lot of programs. What other repository can I add to make more programs
accessible and not to create "Fedora"
thanks

edit: actually, another reason it doesn't have many programs is probably that it's a server version.

You can't use fedora ones, they aren't compatible, you can use centos ones though. note though that if you do start using centos ones at some point you may well find you have a centos system, in terms of graphics etc... this won't hinder your system or your rhce learning.

I know. I was generally referring to a system containing a great
number of programs in their latest versions.
If it doesn't interfere with my preparing for the exam, then I'll definitely add the centos ones.
thanks
