I installed a few random RPMs (games) off the net, with no problems -- downloaded, used "rpm -i" from the command line, they went on fine<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
More informative though, I recommend Robert C. Dowdy's well-written introduction to <A HREF="http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1890">infusing RH 8.0 with multimedia goodness</a osnews.com> (found at OSNews.com). He provides a very good guide to installing DVD playback software (which I used successfully) and some other things which don't apply to me, like Nvidia drivers, but these are really side benefits to the installation -- which he details -- of apt4rpm, which allows you Debian-style easy software installation.It's very slick.
