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). -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Fwd: Another distribution providing mp3 support] Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 19:35:27 +0200 From: Tony Mobily <[log in to unmask]> To: Ioannis Vranos <[log in to unmask]> References: <[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]> Hi, Thanks a lot for your email Ioannis!
