I do not know what you mean by "c program", and what version of java do you exactly need? JRE? SDK? to use java in browser or do make programs with it?

And what version of Red Hat do you have? It's not the same for different versions. I for example run CentOS(RHEL) 5.4 i386 version. You?

... And on a modern Linux you don't "get rpm's" :
Software is downloaded and installed using a package manager,
or by using the command line.

If you still have Redhat 9 :
Redhat 9 was born in 2002, dead and buried 2004 → →
not very easy to use for anything at all.

Suggest : Install the latest free Enterprise version :
CentOS(Redhat) 5.4 .

Actually, there are number of programs/utils not available in any public repo but downloadable from their main site like Virtualbox, shorewall newest versions, proprietary flash plugin, OpenOffice 3.x, ....

I had to create my own repo (http://rpms.plnet.rs/centos5-i386/RP...et-downloaded/) to be able to install and update them using yum.

@ DrLove73

The Adobe flashplayer 'repo for yum'

For the other items : I agree, there will be exceptions.

Ah, yes. I always forget that. Funny thing is I use that repo, but I keep forgetting it is there.
