I would look at the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/
Basically any repository that is compatible with RHEL.
The main one's are Dag, and ATrpm's.

In my other e-mail I said that RedHat like's gnome.  Well ... they don't 
put all the good KDE stuff into their release.  koffice is one of the

Most of them are from ftp.scientificlinux.org, but you can look at 
/etc/yum.repos.d/ to see where each repository is located.  We try to 
mirror repositories, so we don't use all of their bandwidth.
