Do not install these repositories: ATrpms, RPMForge, RepoForge. Those repositories do not play well with RHEL or CentOS. You will likely break your system due to distribution RPMs being replaced by the third party RPMs, and therefore causing rpm dependency problems. If you need RPMs or software that you cannot find in the recommended repositories above, email unix-admin@slac.stanford.edu for advice.
