hi,

yesterday I installed the live dvd iso on my laptop (dell latitude
e6500) and am very happy to say everything just worked (TM). So this
is very nice.

What are the 'recommended' repos outside sl repos people are using for
installing desktop apps?

SL6 ships with the three packages
        epel-release
        rpmforge-release
and
        elrepo-release
so in that sense I guess they are the officially recommended external repos. I believe that elrepo is mostly kernel drivers, so not a
place to look for desktop apps.

As others have suggested, I keep these repos disabled and explicitly
enable them to install individual packages.
