Ya see, this is why it ain't philosophy.
MDK 8.0 ships without AKTION!, XMMS-avi and MPlayer, the RPMs available on
the web refuse to install for a dozen reason, the packages the require
eventually get back to the .configure checking to make sure you are not
running gcc 2.96. The tarballs also won't compile using gcc 2.96. Either
MDK becomes a black box for the computer illiterate, or starts complying with
some standards. Either would work (not for me, I can run Windoze if I want
to check my brain at the door), provide the packages, or an environment where
thay can be built without an entire weekend devoted to downloading stuff and
two more fixing the stuff it broke (and still being without the
applications). I chose Linux for control, I feel we are losing it.
