but ubunt... (multimedia)
Hello,
I came back to Debian (testing/unstable) since a good year now, before that
I had been using Ubuntu for about two years and yet before Debian since
2003.
No doubt I prefer Debian. There's a but. Debian pretends to be the universal
OS. Maybe it's true for everything, but multimedia.
Let alone why, I need a recent DVDStyler (2.x). For some reason, mostly
philosophical, having DVDStyler 2.x work on Debian is a nightmare (if ever
possible):

My personal solution, after a few days of (useless) trials and errors, was
to plug my external USB drive, boot Ubuntu in a kvm guest and use DVDStyler
on that.
I stress it, I still prefer Debian, but in this case Ubuntu saved my day.
So what's the point here? I don't know, I only meant to share my experience,
maybe someone else will come up with a smart solution (smarter than booting
an entire OS only to use DVDStyler).
BTW, I also tried DVDStyler for Windows under Wine, but it was crashing from
time to time (nothing to be surprised about).
