Yesterday I installed the preview release of Fedora 10. I am disapointed; the most needed things, for me anyway, would be to have multimedia support of some kind. My mp3s are a no go, mplayerplug-in doesn’t exist, same with mozilla-plugin-vlc. No quicktime either? What is this? All of this did work with snapshot 3 earlier, so [ READ MORE ]
