According to Mel Seder, way back on 17 Oct 2003: > I downloaded the iso's for fedora, burnt them, and did an install. > The "everything" download was a bit more than 5 GIGS. > > Mozilla seems to be much faster. > I like using fedora so far (I'm using a beta version). when I > installed fedora it seemed to run quite faster right out of the box. > > I can't get MusicPlayer to play a MP3 because I can't browze for that > file using the MusicPlayer. Has anyone played a MP3 yet? Well, file this in the "better late than never" category, but I just came across an excellent guide, written by the legendary Eric Raymond, on installing multimedia support under Fedora... http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Fedora-Multimedia-Installation-HOWTO/index.html This, and many other useful tips, can be found in the weekly Fedora News Updates... http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/ Share and enjoy! -- Gilbert E.

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <bvon67$bra$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: The Squid Web Proxy Kevin McGregor will provide an introduction to setting up web caching using the Squid web proxy software. This will include installation, configuration, monitoring and, if there's time, a demonstration. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our new meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now: http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/ The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members. The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved! -- Gilbert E.
