My yum.conf repos look like this: [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-$releasever [fedora-stable] name=Fedora Supplemental Packages (Stable) baseurl=http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable/ [freshrpms] name=Fedora Linux $releasever - $basearch - freshrpms baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms I have spoken to several people I respect on this issue, and they seem to agree that the above combination is "sane", in that not too many overlapping packages will appear and the RPMs are usually of decent quality. Of course, this doesn't give you the coverage that some other configurations will (livna, whatever other repos are popular, etc.) but I see a lot of merit in keeping your repo list minmal.
