After reading this post and similar others concerning the hardware-software dichotomy, I'm happy to still have a 32 bit machine. I use the svn version of mplayer. It builds a static executable running configure with no options that will play practically any audio or video formats. Firefox 3.6 with the adobe flashplayer 10 works great with you tube, much better than flashplayer 9. I just watched Star Trek Generations on hulu full screen with no stutter except when I moved the mouse. My only experience with totem was with debian stable with the gnome desktop environment. I was not impressed with either of them ; I never got totem to play anything. This partition only lasted a few hours. This is not mean't to denigrate gnome or it's developers or users . It's just that it's not how I want to spend my limited computer time. Hey, I'm still trying to grok 16 bit assembly! -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
