<div dir="ltr">I wrote a tutorial (a basic copy-paste of some yum commands) on how to quickly install all codecs etc in a Fedora box. <a href="http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/06/fedora-post-installation-configurations.html">http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/06/fedora-post-installation-configurations.html</a> You can play DVDs and DivX and H.264 and MP4 a few minutes after installing Fedora with this tutorial.

I am working in a school right now as a systems administrator, a programmer and a teacher. I want to install fedora and install the educational softwares too. I am hoping we could come up with a educational spin ( I realize there is something similar to that but as I see its concentrating towards mathematics) like the edubuntu.
