There are several third-party apt and yum repositories for Fedora that provide additional software not provided with Fedora Core, such as support for playing DVDs and MP3 files. Perhaps the most important consideration when choosing third-party repositories is ensuring that packages do not conflict between repositories.

My personal preference is to add the following 5 repositories to my apt and yum configuration files:

FreshRPMS http://freshrpms.net/ DAG http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ NewRPMS http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ ATrpms http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/ Dries http://dries.studentenweb.org/apt/

Visit The Red Hat/Fedora authoritative packager list for a listing of the packages provided by the above repositories.

ATrpms lists additional RPM repositories that may be added without introducing package conflicts.

The main alternative to the third-party repositories above is to use the Fedora.us and rpm.livna.org repositories. I recommend choosing either the third-party repositories listed above or Fedora.us and rpm.livna.org. "Mixing and matching" these groups of third-party repositories could introduce package conflicts that are difficult to fix.
