Suse 9.3

[FBM357]

Any other LINUX sites come highly recommended?

The main thing that I don't like about the new SuSe 9.3 is that they have compiled all of the media playing applications to not work with MP3 or DVD.

I am too lazy to recompile the applications. Luckily Novell has been making all versions of SuSe available free on their international mirrors. If I had purchased the sofware and found out that they removed support for MP3 I would have been pretty upset.

I use Mandriva for my primary pc, but I have been looking at other distributions because Mandriva is behind the times when it comes to obtaining updated packages. They are still on firefox 1.0.2.

I have been looking at ubuntu and it seems nice, but there are a lot of things that are different. I am about to install kubuntu to see how that is, but I think that in the end I am going to wind up running Debian or Gentoo.

I use www.linuxquestions.org as my primary information site.

Apparently it's very easy to enable mp3 support you just use YaST and it's under Multimedia/Optional components or something similar. It downloads the additional bits from the net. The removal is something to do with patents and other distros are also doing it.
