The Red Hat compiler is totally different from the Mandrake one. Red Hat's
version is not buggy, it is just less forgiving of errors in code. Mandrake's
compiler is rock solid, but is often discriminated against because it has the
same version number as Red Hat's GCC.

Yes indeed. I can get it to play AVI (including DivX) and ASF files that I
can't get working in the (in)famous Windows Media Player (with DivX codecs
installed). This is despite the fact that these files are played using WINE
to emulate Windos DLL files. I can get better video performance for all video
files through MPlayer than I can get in Windows Media Player.
