Hello,


I use both EPEL and RPMForge according to the following principle: 
RPMForge only for multi media packages (for instance, Gstreamer and its 
plugins).

Note that there is only one issue (dependencies resolution during the 
update process) that can be easily tackled: libmodplug from EPEL 
conflicts with libmodplug from RPMForge.

Package: gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.19-3.el6.rf.x86_64 (@rpmforge)
     Requires: libmodplug.so.0()(64bit)
     Removing: libmodplug-0.8.7-1.el6.rf.x86_64 (@rpmforge)
         libmodplug.so.0()(64bit)
     Updated By: 1:libmodplug-0.8.8.1-2.el6.x86_64 (epel)
         Not found
