I'd recommend looking for the EPEL and RPMforge repositories, and insatlling
"epel-release" and "rpmforge-release" to gain access to their rather large
sets of add-on components.

more organized. Grabbing RPM's from other distributions may take grabbing an
SRPM and rebuilding them, but that's often safer than building from a tarball.
