[CALUG] CentOS compat with Fedora ???

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

What you want is called EPEL: Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux.

Loosely speaking: Fedora = RHEL + EPEL

You can drop in the EPEL Repository to RHEL, CentOS, or Scientific (and 
possibly even SUSE or Mandrake) and get Ruby Gems, GIT, Cobbler, and 
Various Other Cool Stuff.
