Re: Last-minute change I've noticed that vlc does a much better job with Realmedia files than the current mplayers and works well for online radio streams & DVD play also. I still use mplayer some, but I use vlc more.
I think it's a good change. _________________ XFX Nforce 750 (built in GeForce 8300), Athlon X2 5000 Lenovo G550 , Intel T4400 , Intel Mobile 4 graphics |

Re: Last-minute change Forgot to mention: he said he has finally dealt with the fact that choosing to not install bluetooth or kppp has no effect by simply removing the page from the Installer!

Re: Last-minute change I'm happy to see Warren choose VLC.
Veetle is 'all about VLC'. I'm all about VLC (because I'm all about Veetle and H.264). So, I'd say, AS USUAL, Warren 'gets it'! _________________ Lenovo-core-i7-laptop: M12-alpha-2 / Win-7 / Aptosid Lenovo-laptop(wife's): Win-7 / M11 "Every day you look in the mirror now, you are looking at an endangered species." - Rob Watson |

Re: Last-minute change Vlc is a great choice over Kmplayer. Can't stand the default GNOME Totem other distros use, either...too dumbed down.
Many people migrating from Winders are already familiar with it, too. |
