I'm attempting to use an FC2 desktop to accomplish everything that my Windows 2000 used to do, but I'm coming up short in several areas. I was wondering if there exists software to accomplish what I need. Windows 2000 Fedora Core 2 FC2 Problems cd2mp3 CDEX Grip - Doesn't handle two cdrom drives well - Track listing changes aren't preserved e.g. if I change it, and reload the disc, it auto- loads from cddb dvd player ATI DVDPlayer gmplayer - Layer transitions are choppy - Mouse doesn't work on the selection window - Doesn't use ATI hardware support for iDCT or MC divx2vcd Nero ?????? - Transcode + xcdroast? binary news XNews ?????? - I tried a ton of readers reader glitter, BNR, Gnus, etc - Nothing seems to accomplish what XNews on W2K is capable of e.g (auto yencode/decode, auto uudec, GUI auto- auto-threading and combining of multipart archives) - Glitter seems to be the state-of-the-art reader, but on FC2 I get a strange error about IO::Handle Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, Tony
