Hi All;
after years of running free Linux distros I've finally come to a place where I must have solid stability for my work laptop so I've purchased RHEL Workstation.
I like it well enough - however I'd like to install digikam and get my system to play mp3's. I'm thinking I could get both of these from a centos repository. What do you'all think?
If so, could someone point me to the correct repo(s) and the packages I'd need for playing mp3's?
Thanks in advance

Start here:
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge
and please make sure you read up on using 'priorities' before enabling 3rd party repos:
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
That should hopefully get you going :)

There is a known issue (and a workaround) with digikam at the moment. You can find more details here:
