Two Linux Distros To Avoid

[dotter_can]

I used to be an Amiga user. Then Comodore went under and my old Amiga A1200/B1260 slowly got older and older. It couldn't be upgraded as vendors went under or turned to other platforms. At last I got an old PC, installed Ubuntu and I've been a Linux fan ever since. I was happy for a long time with Ubuntu's performance using KDE as my window manager

Fedora doesn't natively support MP3 because there are patents on the file format, and a commercial company like RedHat could get in trouble by distributing MP3-playing software without paying royalties. You can enable a non-RedHat repository, and get the non-free plugins (like MP3) from them.

I've no idea why Flash doesn't play for you; I run F20, and it worked fine for me after installing the plugin from Adobe. Opening terminal windows and installing software worked fine too; not sure what was going on your your system.

In other news... my winter house-sit was cancelled, as the owner can't leave due to heart problems. So, this week I have to spend a lot of time finding a place to live until spring! Unfortunately, that means that I'll have less time to look at rescuing your HD. *sigh*
