Re: [PLUG] No Movie Player in RedHat 8
|
I have FINALLY made the leap to apt! There is a great article on osnews
about tweaking RedHat 8. One of the tweaks is installing apt that works
with RPMS from FreshRPMs. I must say that I am really impressed with the
ease that I was able to install the mp3 and mplayer (anda few other)
packages.
Very cool.
