Actually, if you really think about it, it neither is in Windows. Last time I installed one, I had to go to Macromedia (Flash), Adobe (Acrobat-Reader), Apple (Quicktime), RealNetworks (Realplayer), Sun (Java) to get the needed plugins. Oh, yeah, and to Microsoft (Mediaplayer). Now, how is that different from Linux? Chust my 2 cents... Cheers, Juri -- Juri Haberland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
