If you’re wanting to try out Fedora, but want all of your multimedia working out of the box, then give Omega a try (a Remix of Fedora). Rahul Sundaram has just released the latest version, Dalmation, which is built on Fedora 14 and available in both 32 and 64bit flavours.
Omega is a completely free and open source Linux based operating system. It is a installable Live image that includes comprehensive multimedia functionality out of the box. It is a Live image that can be optionally installed to your hard disk. Omega is 100% compatible with Fedora and a Fedora Remix only including packages from Fedora, RPM Fusion and Livna software repositories.
If you’re interested in what Omega is all about, I wrote an article on it for Linux Magazine a while back.

Not sure if you saw this, but I think you’ll get a kick out of the old Kororaa reference..

Hey Jon, long time no chat! Thanks for that – I did actually stumble across that earlier and have chatted with Dan on a few occasions. Nice to know that Kororaa has some positive influence 😉
