NTFS Support
You can add NTFS support via 2 different ways. NTFS-3G, a user space program (available on Extras), or via a kernel module (kmod-ntfs) available on Livna.
NTFS-3G
NTFS-3G is a user space file system that provides NTFS suport. To install simply:
yum install ntfs-3g
To mount a filesystem, f.e. /dev/sda3 on /mnt/ntfs use:

VPN access - PPTP
I need to have pptpclient in FC6 to connect to my work. As of today (29/Oct) pptpclient.sf.net has not been updated to support FC6, at least in the web, but the packages are already available. To install pptpclient:
rpm -ihv http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/fc6/pptp-release-current.noarch.rpm
This will add a couple repositories with PPTP tunnelling software. [...]

You have 2 options concerning repositories, you can add some compatible repositories to Extras (livna.org) or you can switch to some other repositories that are not compatible with Extras (Dries, Dag, et al.).
Compatibles with Extras
Right now I use livna.org repository. It’s compatible with Fedora’s Core and Extras repositories. To add it simply install:
http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
After installing livna [...]
Gnome Enhancements

One important thing is to “enhance” Gnome in some aspects. The first enhancement is letting nautilus open terminals in any place and convert images (using ImageMagick).
yum install nautilus-image-converter nautilus-open-terminal

Take into account that adding repos can make installation longer, specially if you do it over an ADSL line (like I do, and a slower spanish ADSL, thats a [...]
