Dear friends:

Is there a single source for the multimedia applications that are not included with Centos 5: RealPlayer, Mplayer, mplayerplug-in, Acrobat Reader, Java, libdvdcss, etc.?

Due to legalities, no. Commercial software like RealPlayer and Acrobat comes from their respective vendors, but are also available through RHEL (because they work out the licensing deals). Patent and DMCA-encumbered software like libdvdcss has to come from 3rd party repos.

Dear Garrick:

Thank you again for your clarification.
