Repo's that work well with Scientific Linux

   Adobe
   Atrpms
   Dag
   Epel

Note1: Dag and Atrpm's usually play nice together.  But sometimes having Dag 
and/or Atrpms enabled at the same time as EPEL causes some conflicts. 
Sometimes not.

I believe we are also quite compatible with
  centos-extras
But I haven't had time to check them out as much.
