You can make copies. You cannot redistribute because there is material
copyrighted to RH which isn't distributable.
Make copies and install them on more machines?
Could you tell me how many PCs you installed with Ubuntu 6.06 can play
VCDs with proper sound? Mine does not even after installing codecs and
Mplayer works for me.
Are you able to play VCDs using Mplayer in Kubuntu 6.06?
FOSS companies ( Not individual comtributors ) who make distros should
make good distros that work in the user's environment, not their OSS
labs. This point should not be confused with proprietary issues as the
They do have a list of supported hardware. If you can ensure that the
devices are in that list, your applications should work. Don't blame the
distro for not supporting the latest and greatest versions of hardware
available in the Indian market.
I have no issues with hardware. Its the software and the way its
packaged. I get frustrated due to the inconsistency of installation
methods over same distro brands with different versions or across
different distros. In the case of Kubuntu 6.06 in the Acer 2428 laptop,
all the hardware was detected and I can play open format video as well
as audio files from the 'examples' folder. Its the VCDs that don't give
any sound. Haven't tried mp3s or dvds. Even VLC player gives alternete
clear and broken sounds when playing VCDs.
