Just trying to install anything is ultra-stupid.

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.

Considering the fact that what he's complaining about is the equivalent of third-party plugins for an Adobe product not being on microsoft's update site, I'd have to agree with you.

Well, it’s true, isn’t it? All the lunixtics pretend that loonix is better then everything else when it is barely usable. And yet, who in their right minds wants to upgrade to vista?

The lunixtics have the perfect opportunity and, much like the Republicans, they are going t squander it. So, in fact, they are idiots. Much like the Republicans.
