When I switch my laptop OS from Ubuntu 10.04 to Fedora 16, I really stuck with it. Running in Gnome 3, the interface has a big changes. As usual, after the installation of the OS, time to get some of my favorite settings up. 1. Restricted RPMS MP3 codec doesn't come in free with Fedora neither Ubuntu due to it was license. We can get the RPMS from RPM fusion. http://rpmfusion.org/ Just run the following command in the terminal: su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm' To install the gstreamer and ffmpeg for better multimedia playback such as mp3 files; run the following command: sudo yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg 2. VLC player Once you have the RPM fusion, you can grab VLC player from there.
