James,

I don't remember that being the case with Java. Been a while, though. These 
days they have their own version of Java and Eclipse, but I still use the Sun 
versions because they are faster and the Eclipse plugins I use don't want to 
work with Fedora Java.

My xine will play any DVD.

Yum works fine. I use Yumex for the gui. I did use apt with synaptic, but the 
apt repo's were slow to update, or were no longer availabe, so I switched to 
yum, since that is what Fedora supports. I have really been impressed with the 
volume of new and updated packages that are available on a daily basis.
