Hi Gene,
I am using a DVD player called Ogle. I use RedHat (mostly, except for
the HP-Parisk box using Debian) and there are rpm's for Ogle. Download
_every_ rpm they have and install all of them. I only own 2 DVD, The
Matrix and A Bugs Life. They both play fantastically well on a PII 366
128MRAM. Dig up Ogle on freshmeat (of course!)
