[ale] SUSE Mplayer update, removes mplayer?

[Dan Lambert]

Paul, have you been doing the running updates on Ubuntu? I have, and
mine is running better now than it ever die with Mr. Gates' wonder. I
have totally converted over to the Ubuntu, and I'm loving it!

Bill, the MADwifi s working really well, although I'm still using it
with only WEP. haven't tried the WPA driver install yet. just haven;t
had time, nor the need so far. maybe I'll tackle that at the next Ubuntu
LUG meeting.

BTW, the more I use this OS, the more usable I discover it is. I
connected my scanner, and it just worked. I connected my HP LaserJet,
and it just worked. No messing with it, no installing drivers. It just
worked.
