No. I've found it better to have only one active at a time. I believe that
freshrpms uses
DKMS so your kernel modules are automatically recompiled as needed whilst
livna just makes a new rpm available.
Thus
freshrpms can be more more responsive but less flexible. That's because
dkms, once the service is started, will attempt to install
all the modules mentioned in it's config file, even if that's not desirable or, as I've had occasion to find out, the modules installed conflict with each other and prevent your system from working as expected.
On the other hand, if you use
livna, you should install the
fedorakmod yum plug-in so the
livna kernel modules will be kept in sync with kernel changes. Until the kmod kernel system is removed from the Fedora distributions. (Last I saw, the decision to remove it had been made, but not scheduled.)
