Linux Administration Cookbook

Adding additional repositories

There are default repositories installed when your system is created; there are also wilder and more out-there repositories that may contain that one piece of software that you really need (or can't be bothered to compile yourself).

Some common repositories are as follows:

• EPEL
• RPMfusion
• Remi
• ZFS, on Linux

Here, we will look at adding additional repositories, and the ramifications of doing so.
