> Take example Totem, it doesn't support playing media over a Samba share out

> It doesn't come with a torrent app out of the box either and although I
> understand that their trying to keep the footprint of the installed system
> very low, I haven't found one in the list of available applications in the
> software install tool either.

> I might explore Fedora 10 but unlike Ubuntu, OpenSolaris or OpenSuSE I cant
> install that independently as there is no software based synthesizer
> available for the screen reader during installation so it turns me off.
>
> Any suggestions welcome.
