Thinking of the ol' switcheroo

I've been thinking about switching to Fedora from Mandrake 9.2 but I
had a few questions first.

I've heard that it doesn't come with any multimedia apps, XMMS, Totem,
Xine, etc... Is this true? What other apps is it missig, then?

On that note, I really like LM's urpmi command. Anything like that for
Fedora? How about a 'contrib', the studd they can't include in the
DLed dirsto.

And finally, can install Fedora and LM on the same HD and duel boot? I
don't want to mess up my LM install, so this is an important. That
way, if I don't like it I can uninstall.

Thanks,
Jeremy
P.S. Sorry if this got posted twice.
