I wanted to share how easy it was to install xmms on fedora core 4. I was in a discussion with a friend about the simplicity of windows for linux. He has never really used linux, but he assured me it that windows had to be easier. Today I have pure fact to back up my side of the story.
I wanted to xmms media player so I can crank my tunes from sky.fm. A great site.
I know how easy it is to just go hook up some RPM and do an rpm -U and its all done. I tried yum today though. It was great. Below is the command and the ouput just so you can see.
Again this is redundant and people already know how great the nix is but I just had to blog it.
yum install xmms
