Hi folks:
I just can't believe how much trouble it is to play anything multimedia on Linux.

Well, I just needed to vent some steam while I'm waiting for some answers from the various mailing lists that I'm participating in.
Thanks for your ear.
Good day!

I know life can be frustrating - but if people could avoid this kind of pointless rant it would be very helpful to me, and probably to others on the list. If you need advice on something specific, great, ask away. If you don't like the way SuSE packaged the distro, go to http://www.linuxfromscratch.org and build your own. It's fascinating, and the other thing it will do for you is make you appreciate what SuSE are able to achieve. If you don't like the way Linux works, or the way it handles multimedia, then either stop whining and fix it or stop whining and use something else. Either way, please stop whining here. -- Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Long Millgate Manchester M3 1SB Tel: +44 161 834 7961 Fax: +44 161 839 5797 http://www.chethams.org.uk
