Using other distribution's repositories is a bad idea, because ex.: Fedora
doesn't has 6 years support of a given version of the OS.
What is the best-practise for Scientific-Linux?
What are the to-do's after a "Minimal Desktop" install?
So the real Question: How can I install a "fresh" version of these apps on
Scientific-Linux 6.1/64bit?:
* VLC player (it's not in the default repositories and all I can find is an
outdated VLC in rpmforge)
* Chromium/Google Chrome?
* Flash Player
* VirtualBox
* microsoft paint alternative :D

Or it is advised to use another media player other then VLC? there are many
AVI/WMV/MP4/FLV/etc. videos with many codecs. VLC has many codecs (built-in?)
that's why we need it. but fixme if there is a better media player for
Scientific-Linux.
