Q.  How do you play and copy DVDs on Linux

A.  I don't know about all distros but here's what worked
for me with Red Hat Fedora 8.

- Make sure you have the livna yum repository installed and enabled.
  (Instructions here http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki)

- To play DVDs use The VLC Media Player

	yum install vlc

- To backup (aka copy) DVDs I tried k9copy:

	yum install k9copy

  It appeared to install all right but the version I tried (1.2.0-1)
  crashes when I attempt to open the DVD.
