 ====== X2Go Packages for Redhat GNU/Linux ======
-===== Adding the Open Build Service Repo for X2Go =====
+<note important>Please select **one method only** and stick to it. Switching between our EPEL repository and the official EPEL repository will not be possible without first uninstalling all X2Go-related packages.</note>
+===== Adding a Repository for X2Go =====
+==== Adding Our EPEL Packages Repository ====
 Download the .repo file and save it to the correct location:
 <code bash>
-wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop:/x2go/RHEL_6/X11:RemoteDesktop:x2go.repo
+wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo \
+ http://packages.x2go.org/epel/x2go.repo
 </code>
-**Hint:** If you are behind a proxy, make sure the proxy is defined in ''/etc/yum.conf''. Standard yum repos do not use the same connection mechanisms as rhn channels.
+Edit the file afterwards to select the repositories you need.
+As a rule of thumb: ''source'' repositories are never needed, unless you want to build packages from source. ''extras'' repositories are always needed.
+By default, the ''release'' repository is enabled and the ''nightly'' repository is disabled. If you want to use the ''nightly'' packages, disable the ''release'' repository and enable the ''nightly'' repository.
+Note that not all of X2Go may be provided for RHEL 5/6, as these distributions are very old and therefore more work-intensive to develop for.
+**Hint:** If you are behind a proxy, make sure the proxy is defined in ''/etc/yum.conf''. Standard yum repos do not use the same connection mechanisms as RHN channels.
+==== Using the Official EPEL Packages Repository ====
+Install EPEL as [[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL|outlined on the EPEL wiki page]].
+===== Installing X2Go Packages =====
 Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing ''x2goserver'', ''x2goclient'' or ''pyhoca-gui'' or any other of the available packages.
