Computer novice.I recently put Fedora 12 on a old pc.I was running XP before.I have a Belkin "G" wireless router that the pc is plugged directly into.I can get onto the internet with the Linux but it is extremely slow.If I plug it into the ATT DSL modem it works very well,fast.The other wireless devices in the house have no problem with the Belkin.My modem has only one plugin so it is a hassle to use the Linux because nobody else can use their wireless pc's while the Linux is using the modem.I tried a switch but it did not work.Any suggestions?

It's not the best in any of the individual categories, but if you want an all in one DSL modem/AP/router I've had good success with the zoom adsl x6 from newegg under both linux and windows.

Head over to http://rpmfusion.org/ install the free and non-free rpms, yum update and yum install the mp3 libraries and mplayer, vlc Rhythmbox xine and the gstreamer extras.

That'll let you play mp3s and all kinds of audio and video.

Good luck :)
