linux-mag seems to be stripping the dashes (-) from all of the command parameters in the examples. That might make life a little tough on n00b people trying to follow their instructions. Also, he failed to mention the best DVD player that runs on Linux, Ogle. I find it to work better for watching DVDs than all the others he mentions (although it is pretty much *only* good for DVDs, the others are needed for all other formats). |

If you read down the page it links to what it calls three of the best DVD players for Linux, it links to Xine :roll eyes: - never have got on with that one, Mplayer, and something from the Chambers people called Igle. Sure enough I recognized the link and it is a spelling mistake. The first time I see Ogle represented and it is spelled wrong. IMHO no DVD player I have used on a comp beats Ogle. And they do seem to selectively strip command dashes (is there some technical phrase for these things). Spell check doesn't recognize DVD, Xine. |

Ahh, right you are. I should have caught that. Igle, :) |

Don't know what happened with the spelling, I'd guess the linux-mag spell checker incorrectly "fixed" it (I did submit as Ogle). Also, not sure why the linux-mag.com site strips the -'s, but you can also view the articles online at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers.php?action=v... --jeremy |

Makes me wonder just what an "Igle" is... :) dictionary.com doesn't know about it but it's interesting that the first thing it suggests is "ogle". :) http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=igle If you are "feeling lucky" on Google, this is what you get: http://jamaligle.freeservers.com/ Sorry about that. :) This message was edited Jul 28, 2004 12:32 PM |
