First, what is Epel? EPEL, extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (Http://Fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) is built by the Fedora community for RHEL and derivative distributions such as CentOS, Scientific provides high quality software packages for Linux and other projects. This is where RHEL's high-quality, high-performance, high-reliability, free, easy-to-use packages are available. Ii. comparison with 163 yum Source today, on the Dell R610 installed Centos6.4 x86_64 operating system, installed after the system, with 163 of the Yum source installation software, I have been using 163 of the Yum source, because it is the domestic Yum source, relatively fast. However, I found that the source, there is no libmcrypt,libmcrypt-devel this two RPM package, loaded with PHP extension mcrypt, but also use the two packages, so I manually installed the two Libmcrypt package, found that 163 source of the package is not complete. Later installed the heartbeat, found that there is no, so I decided to change the source, and then to the online search, found the Epel source, after using the feeling very cool. Now summarize, share with you! Third, the CentOS 5.X installation uses Epel yum source 1.
