I like the look of palemoon, I am going to drop an email to Nux and see if we can get it added to his repo.
Maybe we can get it into extras? I mentioned something from his repo to my manager, who understandably balked at a Russian server (this is a US gov't agency (non-DoD) that we work at....
li.nux.ro, that's Romania not Russia.
Thanks, I sit (and type) corrected. There was something nagging at me, saying Russia was wrong for Nux. However, I don't foresee aforesaid manager being happy with an eastern European individual's repo.
*sigh*
But - could someone correct me if I'm wrong - isn't "extras" for things like this?

Guess it's the old "if it ain't American, it ain't right" attitude? :-).
A suggestion for your picky boss: Custom repository.
You could create a custom repository featuring these "off limits" products and simply create a repo-release package which gets installed with each machine.
This way each machine has the repository, and can install the extra packages.
I have done this before and works fine, I usually just create my own rpms or grab src rpms from fedora koji and put them in my own repo if I want something that is not available in any repositories.
This should solve most of the problems with your boss :-).
PS: Better not tell your boss Linux was created in Finland..
