On 2005-09-13, mplayerplug-in (http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/) released (http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/news.php) version 3.11 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=71239&package_id=70736&release_id=356267). Here is binary RPM for FC4 (http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Fedora_Core_4_Linux_Installation_Notes#MPlayer_-_another_multimedia_player:) with "RealMedia disabled" (including the SMIL and OGG Mime Types).

Dave Jones reports in his blog (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kernelslacker/27433.html) "There's a slight "situation" right now with regard to kernel updates for Fedora 3 & 4."

RPMforge.net release file (http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/rpmforge-release/). This package contains apt, yum and smart configuration for the RPMforge (http://rpmforge.net/) RPM Repository, as well as the public GPG keys used to sign them. Here is a list of distributions (http://rpmforge.net/packager/distributions/) which supported currently and possibly in the future.

On Sunday evening, my wife and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary at the Black Angus Steak House (http://www.stuartandersons.com/). She doesn't know yet but iPod nano (http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/) in black color (http://images.apple.com/ipodnano/gallery/images/galleryimage06.jpg) with special laser engraving is waiting at home.

For those of you wondering if iPod nano will work with Fedora Core 4. The answer is YES!

Install gtkpod (http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html) from livna using yum and configure "iPod Mount Point" to /media/ipod and that's it!. See the screenshot on the right.
