I use RpmForge the most and I have had one or two conflicts (wxGTK2)
with core/extra's. I can say the same with Livna. But it is a case
of who has what. I have removed a package from one site and installed
it from the other.
ATrpms is one that I have not used since allot of FC1 headaches.
I now do upgrades in stages. All the core/extras first, then the
SorceForge rpms and last Livna. This seems to have prevented almost
all my compatibility issues.
