Have a look at http://atrpms.net/repos/ for a list to start off with.

Personally, I use the main repository (Fedora), Livna, FreshRPMs (note that I 
use Smart, and have FreshRPMs set to a lower compatibility rating to avoid 
potential conflicts), PlanetCCRMA, KDE-Redhat (obviously only of use to KDE 
users ;) ), Dribble (contains emulators and games not in the main repo), 
Tigro and the official Fedora Google and Adobe repos.

I dunno the policy about linking to repos on the Fedora list, so if you want 
the links, better to ask me directly...

I'm interested, Kelly. I too use Smart, and freshrpms and livna - but, having 
been burned on a couple of occasions by the livna/freshrpms conflicts, I just 
keep Livna turned off except on rare occasions. Would you mind sharing your 
priority settings? Are you doing to indididual packages or just to the entire 
channel? Have you successfully avoided all conflicts with this technique?

I left Livna on 0 and set FreshRPMs to -2.  That means you can use "Upgrade 
All Packages" without having to worry about a conflict.  Other than that, I 
just eyeball the packages and watch to see if any of the FreshRPMs packages 
cause changes to the Livna packages.  I also set the main PlanetCCRMA repo 
to -2, but I haven't had any noticeable problems with that one.

Unfortunately, there's no consistent way to avoid conflicts... well, unless 
you only use the main repository.  I find I can avoid conflicts easier with 
Smart, though.

Have you read that web page recently. It is so out of date. His claim is
that word attachments can't be opened in Open Source Software. Do you
believe that is still true. Stallman is a good man but the diatribe you
indicate is nonsense in 2007.

It also has serious
problems of consistency.  The date on the front is 
Jan 2002, but there is a reference to Office 2007 and OOXML.  This 
should not be--if you update the contents, the date at the front should 
change.

Is it also possible with yum to prioritise repos. I couldn't find any
option but wondered...
