I need to get rid of Totem which is borked beyond recognition here .. May I ask which distribution is that? gstreamer can work OK, but it's easy to screw up with the plugins being separated in lots of sub-packages.. Personally I stick mostly with [g]mplayer and ff[mpeg|play]. Indeed, creepy. It is the same with GoogleEarth (which will also install 'ed' as an automation convenience for spammers?) What's wrong with 'ed'? You won't find a more advanced editor in just 37k linked only against libc. It's as essential as 'sed' or 'grep' (and to certain extend 'awk' and 'perl') to any un*x system. It's just a text-editor anyway, not a system-service - like sendmail. Half of the services on linuxaudio.org would not be what they are without 'ed'. love it. OT: I wonder what will ship with the German Ausweis App (RFID identity card application) for Linux ;). see for yourself: `apt-cache show rfdump` - works fine to read those.

Earlier, Ed was needed in a Linux system (if I recall right), but today it may be needed by some programs to patch files - again if I recall it right. Ed can be used interactive and by scripts in order to alter text files, but personally, I have never used it directly for anything.

Is it a rootkit, intending to turn me into a spam-node? Or maybe than big brother want to turn you into a little brother node :) The realplayer and its codecs have constant security issues. Hopefully, here on gentoo, it have been removed from portage a while ago -:) http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-713051.html. Recent mplayer versions will just be fine instead.
