I think it is invaluable, however, I personally do not need the detail in present circumstances. However, I wonder if the value will be found easily in future with this list as a vehicle? My first call in times of such problems would be the ubuntu forums, and they have very good search management facility. I suggest you consider posting the same information to the ubuntu forums, probably 'multimedia and video' http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=138 where the value will endure. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
