#---

--- NVIDA
#---
yum -y install \
akmod-nvidia \
kmod-nvidia-PAE \
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
#---

-- Note about the driver:
It messes the font resolution up (IMHO). So to keep the same aspect between the normal driver and the NVIDIA driver you need to edit the file: [/etc/X11/xorg.conf] and add the following line in the section Device:

Option "DPI" "90 x 90"

My section device looks like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
#Driver "nouveau"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DPI" "90 x 90"
EndSection

-- Development

--- For GIT support:
#---
yum -y install \

#---

-- Update your system:#---
yum -y upgrade
#---

- Install and setup third-part programs
-- VirtualBox/VMware Player
-- Skype
-- Real Player (check for the RPM version)
-- Sun Java
-- Eclipse
-- NetBeans

- Setup printers
- Backup [/etc] and [/boot/grub]
#---
tar -czf bkp-system.`/bin/date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M"`.tgz /etc /boot/grub
#---

- Some issues:
-- Acrobat Reader install its Firefox/Mozilla plug-in, which has a memory leak. I recommend to remove it. To do so:
-- Skype may need some extra configuration (see link for 64bits) and some SELinux relaxation (see link for SELinux).

#---
rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
