That's one thing I like about Linux - when a problem happens, whether I fix it or not, I learn something. When I'm trying to fix something in Windows, often I fix the problem but have no idea how I did it and am none the wiser about that truly occult OS.i tried to install dvd::rip 2 days ago on my redhat 8.0 system. if i remember correctly, i had to install gtk-perl, glade, gdk_pixbuf, libdv, libdvdcss, libdvdread, subtitleripper, lame, among other things before the transcode and dvd::rip rpms would install. and in the end, after installing like 10 rpms that i had to track down from various places, dvd::rip didn't work at all.i ended up learning how to do all that stuff from the command line...which i'm realizing is the best way to learn how to do things...=/
