[LUNI] Help or New Distro Recomendation Please

[Mark Stuart Burge]

Where are you ?

If you are anywhere near south suburbs, you can pick one up from me 
(homewood illinois)

otherwise, I am sure there are a bunch of guys on luni that are in the 
loop area that have cds.

Otherwise, get them to mail you a cd.


I think there is a way to download the iso file and then mount it on a 
network share to install locally, but I am not sure of the steps you 
need to take.

You can call me on 312 388 0779 if you want to pick up a copy

>> I have been battling with yum to install videolanclient (vlc) for days now and am about ready to give up and do a fresh install of another distro ( now running  Centos OS 4.3. )  I have fished around and have tried about every recommended remedy for this problem to no avail.  If anyone has any suggestions how I can fix this problem I would appreciate hearing it.  Otherwise if anyone knows of a distro that can handle a yum vlc install I would also appreciate this info.  Thanks
