I'm attempting to use an FC2 desktop to accomplish everything that my
Windows 2000 used to do, but I'm coming up short in several areas. I was
wondering if there exists software to accomplish what I need.
Windows 2000 Fedora Core 2 FC2 Problems
cd2mp3 CDEX Grip - Doesn't handle two cdrom
drives well
- Track listing changes
aren't preserved e.g.
if I change it, and
reload the disc, it auto-
loads from cddb
dvd player ATI DVDPlayer gmplayer - Layer transitions are
choppy
- Mouse doesn't work on
the selection window
- Doesn't use ATI hardware
support for iDCT or MC
divx2vcd Nero ?????? - Transcode + xcdroast?
binary news XNews ?????? - I tried a ton of readers
reader glitter, BNR, Gnus, etc
- Nothing seems to accomplish
what XNews on W2K is capable
of e.g (auto yencode/decode,
auto uudec, GUI auto-
auto-threading and combining
of multipart archives)
- Glitter seems to be the
state-of-the-art reader,
but on FC2 I get a strange
error about IO::Handle
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated,
Tony
