Has anyone got dvd::rip to work in CentOS?

Thank you for your assistance.

However, I must say that, as a newbie, I find your comments about CentOS 
being inappropriate for some kinds of application a little odd. Why 
should an application built for Linux not work on a distribution of Linux?

As an aside, before attempting to install CentOS, my first choice was 
Ubuntu. But their installer kept hanging somewhere in the middle of the 
installation process, so I decided that was out. So Ubuntu did not 
impress me as an option.

In any case, I searched around for which build would be most appropriate 
for me, and nowhere did I come across information that clearly said to 
me "You really can't or shouldn't run this kind of software on this 
build". Different distributions came with different philosophies, 
prices, and advantages. But if any one of them could not run a Linux 
application, then isn't that build broken?
