Yes it does.

Install real player 10. Select the songs to be played The player pops up. Right Click on the frame of the player Select "This Frame" Then Open "View Frame Source" Search for '.smil' (not 'blank.smil') Copy and paste the URL to the Real Player's "Open Location"

Thats All Regards Babu

I was on FC4 and quite happy with it but I switched to Kubuntu after reading this post and I am really glad that I did. The best part about ubuntu for me was the ease in getting the whatever applications I wanted. Synaptic rocks!

You mentioned that you would have to have a rboadband connection to be able to install anything after the initial install. There is a project that is setting up a deb repo on a cd so that you can point your /etc/apt/source.list to it and install the apps that you have there. It isn’t the same as pointing to a live repo but if you have to set up a number of machines then it could be helpful.

I would recommend using “aptitude install something” instead of “apt-get install something”. Aptitude does a better job of dependency checking and removal if you choose to uninstall at a later time.

Another great site to check out is http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/

There is no Indian mirror. foobar.archive.ubuntu.com is just an alias for the main server unless there are local mirrors (tw, de, fr, etc.).
