I had sent an email to Tux Magazine (http://www.tuxmagazine.com), and it looks like they 
will do a Scientific Linux review in the future. On the subject of mp3 support, I had read 
somewhere that for SL 4.3, besides xmms mp3 support, there are also some others available 
and I have installed all of them. I think that since mp3 support is considered an 
important issue for some, all the support for mp3 must be mentioned somewhere prominently 
on the web site (perhaps in the FAQ).
