This appendix provides information on some popular third-party software repositories that support Fedora Core. Although Fedora Core comes with thousands of software packages, there is still more software out there that people like to use with their Linux systems. It is virtually impossible for a distribution to include every piece of software that somebody might use, while still maintaining a high level of stability. Because of this, third party software repositories have sprung up to offer the extra software that is not included with Red Hat distributions. Table A-1 lists and describes many of these popular repositories.
Note |
Many of these repositories are designed to be used alone, not mixed with other repositories. Some do make an effort to work with others. Please check the repository website for information about other repository interoperability. |
