i do not recommend to use this two repos simultaniuous (or use priorities!).
hmmm - well what is one supposed to do?
I use priorities and did not run into much problems so far... base = 1 rpmforge = 2 (just watch out for rfx packages) elrepo = 3 epel = 4

Thanks for that suggestion. I'll look into it all again in a couple of days. I'm just surprised that Centos risk the stability issue using other repos.
I wouldn't agree with the priorities above. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, our standard repos, in addition to the base, are rpmfusion and epel. Other than *sigh* 386 vs x86_64 issues, we've never had dependency conflicts. It all just works. elrepo I use *only* for kmod-nvidia and its dependencies; I don't use rpmforge - I've tried, a few times, and frequently run into dependency conflicts.

I was only thinking of rpmforge as it seems the only repo with Abiword in it. For WP one has only got LO-writer or Abiword... i prefer the lighter unless i need the features of LO-writer as i did when i was teaching and preparing handouts.
At present i don't know that centos is the right distro for me tbh.
