[ILUG] ogg-vorbis...

[Dave Airlie]

I'm off the same bias ... all the skynet boxes are now Debian... this is
great we don't have to worry about updates any more.... however I'm used
to RH, and I have an RH way of doing things and my brain hates looking for
them...

I used RH 6.2 at work because of kickstart, I use SuSe on my laptop for
some reason but I  find when ever I have to configure something on a
system my brain goes the RH way of thinkin and gets annoyed when it can't find
stuff :-)

Dave.
