+Um, I have six repositories activated. Core Release, Core Updates, 
+Non-free Release, Non-free Updates, Tainted Release, Tainted Updates. 
+Non-free is where my nVidia video card driver came from. I believe it 
+has other proprietary packages that aren't strictly FOS, but don't carry

+developers want to make those more reliable with Mageia. We'll see how 
+that works out.
