Just trying to install anything is ultra-stupid. I tried to install one of those programs where you only have to do 50,000 steps to save 5000 steps but it was another 100,000 steps to install.

why don’t they include all the dependencies with the package? And why is the mplayer plugin so stupid to try to install?

Solaris has always been pretty stupid and sun has the worst customer service. They assume the customer is a criminal.

Aix has always worked pretty well and IBM has stellar customer service but I still wouldn’t install aix on anything I actually owned ‘cause I like to use the software, I don’t like to spend all my time trying to d/l stupid, idiot, mind numbing, evil dependancies.

The Atari 800XL is still the best computer I ever owned. Everything just worked. The comodor 64 was okay but it ate one of my games once when I tried to make a backup. Remember Boulder Dash? That was a great game. Good times. Not stupid times, like linux gives.

up2date -i

Please keep in mind redhat will be packaging the software in question into its distro meaning all you have to do is type that line..

oh yea, ultra stupid.. What, may I ask, were you trying to install?

why don’t they include all the dependencies with the package? And why is the mplayer plugin so stupid to try to install?

So it was mplayer you were tryig to install? Did you try this (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/mplayer/). I never installed it on 4 because I used it as a server but I believe the reason they don't package the codecs for dvd and mp3 is because of copyright reason.

So your complaint about RH and Solaris... is they are not good desktops... Hello captain obvious! Windows and OSX are better desktops than either RH and fedora what has that to do with the price of tea in china? RH and Solaris make their bucks in the server scope.

I don’t like to spend all my time trying to d/l stupid, idiot, mind numbing, evil dependancies.

I love it when someone acts like an idiot, makes their life harder, and then calls other people idiots.
