Though its been awhile and I am sure Warren has fixed many of those issues. LinuxMint is a wonderful distro but a bit behind. Same with Klickit Linux. Ubuntu based distros are extremely easy to get Multimedia on. Just add the medibuntu repository. deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free #deb-src http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free I also recommend the following additional repositories: deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/ intrepid main deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/ intrepid main deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/ deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ testing non-free It isn't about it being free. Rather, its about the freedom it brings. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
