Doesn't PLF have MPlayer RPMs or something? (I assume you use Mandrake).

 

If you want, I could help you get it built probably, but I haven't done it for a long time. We could start a new thread all about MPlayer, if you like.

 

I think the apps that JaseP was talking about includes Cinelerra (more than likely anyhow). Not sure how you would install it on Mandrake (back when I used Mandrake, it was called bcast2000, so maybe they didn't rename it in Mandrake yet?). Anyhow, good luck.

I use Mandrake on my laptop and workstation, because of URPMI (haven't had any deps missing since 8.2 or something) and because other distro's didn't really work on my laptop and I wanted my laptop and workstation to be up and running out-of-the-box. On my private ics/ftp/file/ssh/mail server I was willing to do some more manual configging (Debian Sarge), but I'm thinking about buying Mandrake ProSuite or using Mandrake MNF.

Also Debian has some 'unique ' features.  

 

First the RVM.  

 

Thats the re-virginiser module.  It seems to be installed as default and has the effect of making you feel like you never used linux before... :oops:  

 

second see number 1.

ah yes, the re-virginizer module. /me moves on

It also has this prog that allows you to load modules into the kernel on the fly which i find to be much better than the *mod* prog
