Linux: Fedora 3 far from complete
And you thought that after installing the latest Fedora Core 3 on your brand new machine, that you had all the latest multimedia features of Linux. Think again. Yum, the engine used by Fedora, doesn't even include mplayer or xine. So what can you do to fix that?
I found a little website that can help you make your desktop completely multimedia ready:http://home.gagme.com/greg/linux/fc3-tips.php. A quite easy-to-follow guide to help you get your machine ready.

Dag, Dries, FreshRpms and Fedora.us
Though I'm not sure if fedora.us works as a yum repo... I did find this.

Though I haven't used it yet. (lots of good extras)
Yum just doesn't seem as snappy as apt though, but I haven't had any conflicts using yum (mostly thanks to all repos syncing release names)
