One thing that was lacking under fedora (at least under x86_64) was a
way to waste time by watching YouTube videos. Just to make sure
Fedora users' productivity is cut down to the same level as the rest
of the world, I hacked together a small shell script to download
youtube videos and play them full screen. enjoy!

# usage:
# getyoutube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCQ7dmGuAU8 [...]
# getyoutube http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=472DE700A3CC70A4 [...]
# getyoutube http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=openmoko [...]
# getyoutube http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=openmoko [...]
#
# The "&" in the youtube URLS and anything past them is optional.
# Freel free to not cut and paste it and save yourself the trouble of
# having to quote the lines (since the &'s have meaning to the shell.)
#
# We can deal with a few types of youtube html files.
# /watch?v= (individual video page)
# /view_play_list?p= (playlist of the above files)
# /results?search_query= (search results)
# /profile_videos?user= (a user's video list)
#
# Requires wget(1) and mplayer(1). Fedora users may need to install
# the optional mplayer codecs from the livna repository.
