Now that fc2 is retired, is there any valid yum repos?

Is this a desktop workstation or a server? If this is a workstation
or a non-production server, why not just go with the Fedora flow? I
run Fedora Core 5 on my workstation and it's working just fine.
If you really don't like upgrading your OS every couple of months I'd
backup my data and do a fresh install of CentOS 4.4. However, CentOS
5 will be out in 6 months... :o) No immediate need to upgrade then
though as CentOS 4.x will get full updates until Feb 29 2008 and
maintenance updates until Feb 29 2012 (http://www.centos.org/modules/
smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=42).
