Fedora 7 Released

I just hope it is not a Disappointment. :)

I found the answer to this question in a Book about Fedora Core 2. Red Hat and Fedora do not support the mp3 format because of patent issues. But there is a Simple way to add mp3 support back to one of the best multimedia players there is, XMMS. Simply download the RPM from this website http://www.gurulabs.com/goodies/downloads.php, and install...
