Hello all! For people who were interested at the Toodlesday meeting: http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2007-01.html The link to the web store's in there. By the way, what was the name of the bootable distro that did the hard drive wipe? Cheers! Scott -- Scott L.

For people who were interested at the Toodlesday meeting:
Brad & I tried the free MP3 download and it's a breeze to install (yes, it involves cp, but only 1 file, and to a standard place). I'll probably pick up the full MS media pack. Does anybody know if that will work with mplayer too? Or is it just gstreamer and is gstreamer completely separate from mplayer? Outside of mplayer on the command line, I'm new to mm on linux. Looks like they are in Spain. Does anyone know if these guys are truly legit? I mean, they're not just stealing the codecs and then billing us for them, are they?

using any linux live/rescue boot cd dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda bs=1M dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M wrap in for loop to repeat as you see fit (I'd say 1 pass is good for all but NSA-worrying folk). Who needs a special CD to do that?! :-)

Not sure. I don't think mplayer uses gstreamer. However, with these codecs, totem, or other gstreamer based players is pretty much on par with mplayer now.

I've met them both in Mountainview and Brasil. They're not only legit, but pretty darned smart too.

I downloaded pics from 2 digital cameras. Each had a 1GB SD card, which I removed, put in a cheap USB card reader, and plugged into my machine. I copied all the photos - or so I thought. After ensuring I had copies on 2 separate HDDs, I erased the SD cards. My wife says there are missing photos - and there may be - one of the cameras sufficiently wiped its memory that it resumed counting the photos from zero. The card-in-stick shows up under fstab as a vfat file system. I only took one photo on each card after reformatting. Is there a decent Linux program which will allow me to recover the (presumably) lost files? -- -Dan Dr. Dan Martin, MD, CCFP, BSc, BCSc (Hon) GP Hospital Practitioner Computer Science grad student ummar143@cc.umanitoba.ca (204) 831-1746 answering machine always on
