So long as you look at the USE flags with a fine tooth comb you will find a lot of joy in the gentoo multimedia experience. It is (fortunately IMHO) not bogged down by the desire to keep clear of win32codecs, libdvdcss and the like. My gentoo system can play more media files than my win2k system, and without the annoyances of realplayer or quicktime popping up to tell me that I can now watch the latest piece of crap that they think i want to see. Anyway, my point was that, unlike some other distros where you have to hunt around for third party implementations in order to watch the dvd you own, or listen to an mp3, gentoo gives you the choice of including it right from inside portage. -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
