Linux "Desktop Linux is almost soup. We only have a few items left on the short list. Will we do it? If history is an indicator, the answer is yes." Read this article at LXer. Read more for a short list of my personal needs before I could say "yes, I can switch to Linux or FreeBSD full time".

Eugenia, the only luck I've ever had with mplayer is with SimplyMepis 2004.4 (yes Quicktime.com/trailers have sound, yes to all your other complaints, yes it will work in Opera if you install libmotif3). And I would use that distro if I didn't like Xandros so much...I wonder if there's a way to copy the package over or something.

All the other mplayer packages I've used otherwise fail on one of those 3 points.
