On a fresh install, neither Konqueror, nor Firefox will play content from YouTube. Fedora and Redhat's take on patents and licensing issues seems to be rather than risk stepping on thin ice, they'll avoid going out on the lake at all. Me, I'll take a stroll on the lake and trust I'm aware enough not to fall through the ice.
To play content from YouTube, I have to install Adobe Flash. This is much simpler than it has been in the past. Either Google "adobe flash linux yum", or go here.
Scroll down to Option 3, YUM. Click on the link and choose Open with "Software Installer". This is a small, 5K rpm file that will install the adobe-linux-i386.repo file, as root, into /etc/yum.repos.d. Once that is done, YUM can install the flash player for you.
You can follow the Adobe directions, and open a terminal window, su to root, and type yum install flash-plugin, and yum install libflashsupport or if you installed Yumex, you can do it all through the GUI. Note: if you don't install libflashsupport, you will not hear sound on YouTube.
For Yumex, select "Yum Extender" from the System menu, or type Alt-F2 and enter yumex in the Run Command dialog box.
The fourth icon down on the left in Yumex is the Repository Selection View, click it and insure the Adobe repo is checked. If not, check it and click the refresh button in the lower right corner of Yumex.
The top icon on the left is the Package View, click it, and then select the button at the top in front of "Available" to display all the available packages. Type flash in the search box, and press return. When the search is done, select the box in front of flash-plugin and libflashsupport. Take a moment to insure you do not have Firefox or Konqueror running, and if not, click on the Process Queue button in the lower right corner of Yumex. Yumex will download the selected rpms, and install them, all without needing to go to the command line in a terminal window.
Firefox: Open up Firefox and go to YouTube. Videos will now play, and have sound, just like they are suppose to.
Konqueror: Open up Konqueror. On the top bar, choose Settings -> Configure Konqueror. Scroll down the left side icon menu to Plugins. Click on the Scan for New Plugins button. Select the Plugins tab, and you should see the flash plugin listed. Close, and restart Konqueror. Go to YouTube. Videos will now play, and have sound, just like they are suppose to.
Part 2
Well, it depends on what you
Well, it depends on what you WANT. If you're talking about building an enterprise server, and you have third party applications that are only certified to run on RedHat, but don't have wads of cash to spend on support, then you go with CentOS. The point is that it *IS* the same as RedHat. I'd never run it on my desktop because I want all the latest and greatest there. On the other hand, I'd expect to get fired on the spot if I tried to run a business critical server on Fedora. Do you want guaranteed stability, or new features? You can't have both.
