- Be sure to **edit** this example to match your needs, mostly the ''enabled'' key. ''source''-tagged repositories are only needed if you intend to build packages from source, while ''extras''-labeled repositories are always needed. By default, the ''release''-labeled binaries repository is enabled, while the ''nightly''-labeled binaries repository is disabled. If you want to try newer, unreleased
software, disable the ''release''-labeled binaries repository and enable the ''nightly''-labeled binaries repository.
+ As a rule of thumb: ''source''-labeled repositories are never needed, unless you want to build packages from source. ''extras''-tagged repositories are always needed.
+ 
+ By default, the ''release''-labeled repository is enabled and the ''nightly''-tagged repository is disabled. If you want to use the unreleased, more up-to-date packages, disable the ''release''-labeled repository and enable the ''nightly''-tagged repository.
+ 
+ Note that not all of X2Go may be provided for RHEL/EPEL 5/6, as these distributions are very old and therefore more work-intensive to develop for.
+ 
+ **Hint:** If you are behind a proxy, make sure the proxy is defined in ''/etc/yum.conf''. Standard yum repos do not use the same connection mechanisms as RHN channels.
