billy_gates:
Is there a full on Quicktime for Linux? or is there a way to get Quicktime to work with WINE?

mplayer plays Quicktime movies, although I think not the latest version.
There isn't any Quicktime player from Apple for Linux to my knowledge.

Calum:
well i know there is no quicktime for linux because i went to apple.com earlier in the week and looked for one. upon verifying this i wrote them an email saying how genuinely puzzled i was that they had brought out a version for windows but not for linux, and pointing out that since their operating system is *NIX now and since they're dabbling in KDE and XWindows then really they should be able to bring out a quicktime for linux without too much effort. I also said how you could quite easily get realplayer for linux.

I would recommend sending an email to apple about this. remember every email they receive represents n hundred customers who thought the same thing but didn't email (that's if their marketing dept is any cop).

Ice-9:
I'm off to www.apple.com right now!

Edit: Voila! Done.
Now everybody should do the same and send a mail to
[email protected]

Like Calum I mentioned the existence of Realplayer for Linux and I pointed them to the fact that MacOS and Linux both were Unix-based.

Sent one in saying how it's annoying to have to use MOL in YDL just to view a QT movie.  :D
