Fedora 7 Multimedia Repos on
Fedora 7 Rivals Ubuntu's Ease of Use

Posted 06/20/2007 at 10:59:45pm

Sadly, for the time being, cj100570 is probably right. This is not the case with Fedora Core 6, however. The website Fedora FAQ ( http://www.fedorafaq.org/ ) has detailed instructions for Fedora Core 6, on how to safely add third-party multimedia support and codecs. No, I'm not affiliated with the site, and I receive no reward for posting this (I'm just a satisfied user of their website; that's it). Another good place is Fedora Solved at http://www.fedorasolved.org/ If you're wanting a bleeding-edge Linux distro, get Fedora 7 (notice there's no "Core" in the name, now). If you need the third-party multimedia support and codecs, you're probably better off with Fedora 6 for the time being. However, if you're like me and love Red Hat and want the latest and greatest, you'll run Fedora 7 at home and not look back. Oh...also, check out the Mozilla PluginDoc for extra help on getting Web Browsers configured for stuff like flash (though Fedora FAQ is better, IMO, for Fedora Core 6, or you can visit http://macromedia.mplug.org ): PluginDoc Linux x86 http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html PluginDoc Linux x86_64 (64-bit) http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux-amd64.html
