They are always willing to put up information on how to use it with Linux if you just e-mail them the information. The current instructions (still somewhat valid) were written more than 5 years ago. Since then a lot of other alternatives cropped up, like vlc, xine, etc. I should still note, though, that none of the free distros will support playing kbyu out of the box. they all require downloading and installing proprietary codecs. Ubuntu does make it easy, but it's not competely automatic. So you'd want to make sure they have notes on all the major distros (a pain). For fedora, I'd recommend using livna instead of freshrpms. But just telling users to point their player at some url is probably not going to work. > > Sincerely, > Steve > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
