> Hi Chris, > Other than the obvious choice of a repository in the same country you live > in, what is a bad choice of repositories?? For a start, take a look at http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ Under the section "Truths and lies about mixing repositories" As this explains the DAG+compatible repositories (FreshRPMS, Dries, NewRPMS and PlanetCCRMA) are not really compatible with the fedora.us or livna.org ones. If you try and mix them you are likely to get incompatibilities between packages. If you stick with just one set, such the DAG+others (I use these and recommend them) they put some effort into making sure they work together OK. To be complete, I also use this one http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ to keep KDE up to date, since its my favoured desktop and fedora isn't great at keeping up to date in this area. I used this to ugrade from 3.3.x to 3.4 seamlessly a week or so ago. cheers Chris
