RHEL6最近出了6.1版，离稳定版越来越近了，哈哈！RHEL6基于Fedora 12，从启动速度上讲RHEL6的速度是RHEL5的三倍以上，RHEL6还支持休眠，支持xfs,还可以在KVM上装一个winxp以备不时只需。linux发烧友用RHEL6做桌面是蛮不错的选择,既然是桌面，那么播放音乐和视频肯定是不可或缺的功能，rhel6自带的音乐播放器rhythmbox和视频播放器totem，默认都不能使用，需要安装解码器；下面就来演示下配置步骤，后续会介绍如何在rhel6上安装其他的桌面应用。
1：首先确保rhythmbox和totem软件已经正确安装
[root@rhel6 ~]# rpm -qa |egrep 'rhythmbox|totem'
totem-pl-parser-2.28.3-1.el6.x86_64
rhythmbox-0.12.8-1.el6.x86_64
totem-mozplugin-2.28.6-2.el6.x86_64
totem-nautilus-2.28.6-2.el6.x86_64
totem-2.28.6-2.el6.x86_64
2：下载并安装相关的软件包，否则后面安装解码器包会出现依赖关系无法解决
[root@rhel6 ~]# wget http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libid3tag-0.15.1b-7.el6.x86_64.rpm
[root@rhel6 ~]# wget http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libid3tag-devel-0.15.1b-7.el6.x86_64.rpm
[root@rhel6 ~]# wget http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/RedHat/beta/6/beta2.update.0/5.90Server/optional/x86_64/os/Packages/cppunit-1.12.1-3.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
[root@rhel6 ~]# rpm -ivh libid3tag-0.15.1b-7.el6.x86_64.rpm

3：配置yum库，http://apt.sw.be这个网站上rpm资源相当的丰富，但RHEL6的yum库相对还不够齐全
[root@rhel6 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/base.repo
[base]
name=base
baseurl=ftp://192.168.50.7/pub/iso6/Server/
enable=1
gpgcheck=0
[dag]
name=dag
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/dag/
enable=1
gpgcheck=0
4：安装解码器，若未安装解码器则会出现如下错误
[root@rhel6 ~]# yum list *stream*
[root@rhel6 ~]# yum -y install *stream*
5：测试，也可以在firefox地址栏中输入about:plugins 测试。
