Ah, heh, yeah, for CentOS 5, it'd actually be a pretty decent fit, since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 essentially forked from Fedora Core 6...

Axel has the nvidia drivers, the kernel modules, Myth itself and everything I've ever needed to keep my myth system running. The only package I can think of at this moment that I've installed recently that wasn't in the atrpms repo was DenyHosts (http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/).

Yeah, denyhosts is in the EPEL repo. I can't recall if ATrpms avoids overlap (i.e., is designed to be compatible) with EPEL or not...
