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

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).

Repositories
During installation you can select additional repositories (apart from Core, be it CD/DVD or FTP/HTTP). You have Extras configured but can add any repo you wish. 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 [...]

Fedora doesn’t include a Java runtime, due to licensing problems, of course (if you want, you can send a mail to Sun asking them to open Java). There are other simpler ways of installing Java in Fedora, but here I’ll show the one I prefer, because you end up making an RPM with JDK (or [...]

After installing Fedora Core 5 we have a lot of software already available, thanks to Fedora Extras. But unfortunately some software is not packaged by Fedora Extras guys, so we can add a few extra repositories to increase the available software to install (and to increase the possibilities of breaking everything for a dependency problem).

MP3 codecs installation.Due to licensing problems Fedora Core 5 doesn’t install any MP3 codec. As there are still people posting podcasts with MP3 format instead of OGG, and I’m too lazy to convert all the podcasts, I have to install MP3 codecs.

As of this writing:

yum install nautilus-open-terminal
Once installed you must restart nautilus (that implies login out and in again into Gnome).
The marvel: The deskbar.
One of the best enhancements of Gnome 2.14 is the deskbar. [...]
