The Fedora distribution does not contain any patented or alleged patented technology such as MP3 and DVD players.

To enable this functionality use packages from the Linva (soon to be merged with RPM Fusion but that has not been completed just yet) from repository available at Livna

Livna now supports Fedora 9 (Annoucement)

To add Livna to your RPM distribution repository list for yum run the following line (you will need the root password):

su -c 'rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm'

My favourite Fedora add-ons are VLC and Xine.

Fedora 9 is soon to be released.

It contains amongst other improvements:

• Faster X Windows start-up
• Upstart service manager instead of initd
• Multi-timezone clock
• Preview of the ext4 filesystem (for the brave)
• Persistent LiveCD images on USB
• Firefox 3
