What I want is a system that has a web browser that can display the streaming videos included on many websites, including the different news services like Reuters, ABC, CNN, etc at Yahoo.com and the trailers at film.com. Basically the same functionality that a Windoes user would have on the same websites.
Just add packmans repository, then install: mplayer and mplayer-plugin or vls and vls plugin win32codecs (to add support for proprietary codecs) then flash (there is 9.0 for linux already) Whatever distro you choose, you will end up doing something similar, i.e. using external repositories (besides ubunty, which has these programs in their multiverse, but it has its quirks as well), and installing win32codes and the players. Some videos will not play, whichever distro you choose, as they use some "bad"/proprietary codecs. But I find the above solution to solve 99% of the problems. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
