Re: [PLUG] No Movie Player in RedHat 8
|
I tried debian a few times, long long ago. The problem I have with it is
that it was difficult to install, and that it seemed to need a lot of post
install configuration. My vaio is a real pain (difficult hardware) and
getting RedHat installed and working is enough of a challenge. Latelym I
like to just use my computer instead of spending hours getting it usable.
I liked progeny's debian when I tried it way way back - on my desktop box
- but it didn't handle my cd-rw and usb stuff very well, so it didn't last
that long on my box. I've always wanted to try one of the newer versions,
but never have the spare hours.
