There are several additional CentOS repositories that you can install. These repositories provide additional packages, such as patented software (MP3 players), closed source applications (Flash plugin, Adobe Acrobat Reader) and lesser used packages (python numpy, Gnu Scientific Library). But some repositories install packages over other packages, which can cause problems and conflicts (ATrpms is bad at this). So we recommend only installing EPEL and RPM Fusion. Read more here:
