I have Realplayer working fine with NN 4.78, Moz 9.4 and NN 6.2 in
Mandrake, and have friends who have it working in RH.

You can get a $20 Wine extension called "crossover" that'll play QT in
Linux, too. And Shockwave -- beyond the standard Flash plugin.

Anybody in SLUG got openoffice or StarOffice 6 beta on CDs? I don't have
a CD burner... Would like to move to one of them myself even though I
have never had Word.
