Pretty much any distro will as long as it runs the VM software of your
choice. VMWare runs on pretty much all platforms and Qemu has also been
ported quite widely. The real choice is in which distro you wish to use
that supports the _linux_native_ applications that you want to run.

Maybe it's a failed attempt at a free MP4 codec or something?
They did name it in the same way Xvid<--> Divx got named after all.

By increasing your earning power you may be able to get a better job
and more pay. Many people suffer a money loss because of their lack in
confidence and knowledge. There are several ways you can increase your
earning power but the first way is to realize what you are really
worth. Take a long hard look at yourself and figure out who you really
are and what you really want to be. Have you done that? If you are
ready to learn how to increase your earning power then continue to

  What is 4PMF

Rick recently posted a screen cast with the video format (according to
MPlayer) of 4PMF and a blank MP3 audio track. Doing a Google search on 4PMF
I am not seeing much info... did MPlayer just report it incorrectly? What
the heck is 4PMF? Why would someone use that for a screen cast - the
default browsers on Ubuntu, OS X, and XP all fail when trying to view it
(though it works with VLC and MPlayer).

Anyone know what 4PMF is?

  Late Pass needed (?) - Tux Racer Arcade game??!!!         


Author: George Jones IV
Date: Jan 27, 2008 19:27

Yesterday was the first time I've been in an arcade in years. Took my
girls to an arcade here in Phoenix (Castles N Coasters) and stood in awe
of a Tux Racer upright arcade machine!!! Am I just that late to the
party???!!! I'd been playing Tux for several years, but had no idea that
it had been converted into an arcade machine.

Are there any other Linux games with Arcade counterparts???

Yea....
Somehow Roy Schestowitz's daily SPAM and worse [Homer]'s twisted stats have
not seemed to bother the linux nuts.

Pretty sad IMHO.
