Hope i don't sound like a nit but i've got a little confused with the repos. Hoping someone would be kind enough just to clarify. This installation is for stability whilst installing the latest versions available.

Here at work, we use rpmfusion and epel. RPMforge too often has packages that have dependencies that conflict with base CentOS packages.

I've been using elrepo *very* cautiously, but that's only been for kmod-nvidia.
in general: "the ELRepo Project focuses on hardware related packages to enhance your experience with Enterprise Linux. This includes filesystem drivers, graphics drivers, network drivers, sound drivers, webcam and video drivers." :-)
