Recent days, I found myself need to dive into linux world, to embrace open source, free, and the spirit of hacker, so, i equiped my PC with Ubuntu, a widely used linux.
To forget Windows gradually is not simple, what should be done first of cause is to make PC to support multimedia. musics, movies,games are essential components of life. Thus, I can forget the virtues of Windows and hug Linux.
For a newbie, to finish these jobs is really hard, for weeks, my input method does not support Chinese, then try to install SCIM, following the instructions from all kinds of blogs, but failed, many strange character sets can be inputed, but Chinese characters are still absent, and finally find my language support does not contain Chinese, what a foolish man i was, then install the corresponding packages downloaded from the Web, eventually it works.
Then, install the codecs Movie Player needed, and found that more and more multimedia formats it can support, I feel happier and happier.
Then the LumaQQ, a chat application, the mplayer, which supports almost all of the video formats i have seen, although the output audio device and output video device cause some problems, i finally fixed it.
