with Gxine, but it is not working any longer with latest Fedor updates
(see my posts).
Multimedia is always a pain, Windows is still light years ahead for the
standard user (You have Window Player for any file): and until effort on
this issue is seriously done, no real hope to repalce Windows on teh PC
of a general user, this is my opinion.
I am seriously planning to revert to a Windows machine for multimedia.
