The beginning
开始
Unlike many people think, freshrpms.net is not (yet?) a group effort. In late 2000, I started building quite a few rpm packages for my own needs, that couldn't easily be found elsewhere, or at least not so well suited for Red Hat Linux. A few months later, the website on which these packages were hosted changed its name to become what people know today. A long time has passed and I still maintain all the packages I used to, and more of course! A whole community of users, testers and contributors has grown around the website and its packages, which is something I really didn't expect but really enjoy.

不像许多人所想的那样， freshrpms.net不是(尚未成为?)一个团队的努力成果.在2000年年底,我开始为我自己的需要构建了少量不可在别处轻易找到或者是至少不能 很好的与Red Hat Linux兼容的rpm软件包.数月之后，包含这些软件包的网站改成了现在众所周知的名字。很长一段时间过去了，我仍然像过去那样维护者所有这些软件包， 当然软件包的数量也增加了！整个社区的用户、测试者和贡献者通过这个站点及其软件包成长起来，这是我没有想到的却使我感到十分欣慰。

The philosophy
理念
I'm a free software believer, and I enjoy giving back to the community that gives me so much. I consider freshrpms.net as my modest contribution, by helping Red Hat Linux users get easy access to high quality add-on packages of neat software not included in the main distribution. The packages themselves are focused on quality, and not quantity. This means that you won't find every software you can think of here, but what you will find should blend into Red Hat Linux as if it was part of the original distribution.

我是一个自由软件的信徒，大量受益于社区同时我也乐意对此进行回馈，通过帮助 Red Hat Linux的用户更加便捷的获取那些没有包含在发行版中的高质量的优秀附加软件，我将freshrpms.net视作我（对社区）恰当的贡献。这些软件包 注重质量而不是数量。这意味着你找不到你想要的所有软件包，但是你却能找到那些应该融合到Red Hat Linux的软件包，就好像他们本是原始发行版本中的一部分。
