If you want to get RHEL's high-quality, high-performance, high-reliability, and easy-to-use (the key is free) Software Package update function, the epel (extra packages for Enterprise Linux) launched by the Fedora Project) this is exactly for you. Epel (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) is a program built by the fedora community to provide high-quality software packages for RHEL and derivative releases such as centos and scientific Linux. Installed with epel, just like on fedora, you can use yum
Install package-Name and install the software at will.
