bluecurve

[Andrew Gorcester]

Yeah, I mean out of the box.  I'm perfectly comfortable installing all
of the missing multimedia components myself (it's not my idea of a fun
evening, but it's not something I'd mind doing once or twice).  But, I
wouldn't ask one of my friends who is interested in Linux to do that. 
It's not something a newbie wants to deal with.

Maybe I should make a CD with all of the requisite media packages, and
an install script to use on new RH installs?  But it seems like
something Redhat should be doing, not me.
