Hi all,
do you know some good/trusted repositories to include in yum's configuration that has packages that are not in the install tree ??? something like linuxpackages.net is for slackware .... I mean, I was looking for a program to watch dvd's (like mplayer) and was thinking if there wasn't anyway to install it through yum, but i didn't find any of them in the main repositories .....
Im a slackware user and was thinking of changing to centos mainly because im tired of having to compile things by hand :-)
I still use slackware on servers (it's performance and simplicity r great). But im starting to migrate to centos on my laptop and workstation .... i installed it on my new laptop and i got everything working (like sound, wireless and video opengl) without having to compile anything ..... and this was very impressive to me ....
so, i wanna see dvd' s on my laptop without having to compile programs :-)
any tips ?

Really? Are you perhaps beginning to notice a trend in my emails? You should see a pattern of mocking behavior, sarcasm, elitist behavior, arrogance and condescension if you read through my email archives. I usually try to accompany these displays with correct answers though.
I believe the word used on my evaluations when I worked tech support was "abrupt". Why say in 19 words what I can say in 3?
hmmm what other excuses can I come up with.....
I love how we're attributing speach patterns and behavior to urls these days....

That's OK. I was feeling jocular and didn't read or spell check. And right here I emphasize I was joking around, not complaining.
<slap> me!

Has your memory gone? We joked about this earlier (weeks ago) and I stated that I supported your terseness. And you replied in a friendly fashion. But there was some understanding in there (IMO) that the terseness also served another unstated purpose. I guess not.
NP for me. Just say shut up. No issues with that here.
If you want me to quit joking around with you, say it. I take no offense.
Based on your previous though, I felt comfortable wise-cracking and that you might get a chuckle.

In my reviews it was "Sheesh! You're sure hard to manage, but we don't want to lose you!". They didn't understand there is no subordinate relationship in my world... which they chose to enter! There are those responsible for decision-making and directing my activities and those responsible for making sure they are well-informed before those decisions are made and directions issued. >>:-)

I'm attributing them to a poster based mostly on my *imagination* (which is *much* more entertaining than the reality we can observe) and a pattern observed over time were it is imagined the poster has made great effort to conduct himself properly in the face of hideous laziness that costs the time of others. I imagine he has hidden the angst quite well and I am "anthropomorphizing" the URL, sparked by those things. By posting as I do, I hoped to both joke around and leave a not-so-subtle reminder to the OP that he's wasting others' time. And he can't gripe about your post. It was correct and to the point. And I like to remind in a way that is friendly in tone.
I enjoy a "friendly" place and have no issues with joshing. And will stop if asked or told to do so.

One of the conclusions I've come to in the 70 years I've spent passing through, is that the right answer, however worded, is one whole hell of a lot better'n the wrong answer, sugar coated.
Best regards, Jim!

I used to know them. But then I recalled that they are pointed too (although maybe not as prominently as some might need/desire) so I forgot them.
Try the CentOS web home page and read through the stuff. I'm sure you find it.
