Hi all,
I'm new to linux but got Sarge running and slowly getting familiar! Could someon give me suggestions on which program to use to play mp3, watch movies (DVDs, AVI, MPEG).. basically a sort of 'windows mediaplayer' substitute??
I read about VLC, is this the best/easiest solution?
Thanks for any suggestions!!

totem is included in the gnome desktop (noatun for kde) and if you install ffmpeg they will play most media files, you might also want to install all gstreamer-* packages. The benefit of doing this is that it's all in debian, no extra repositories. (Notably this setup won't play encrypted dvd's nor will menues/subtiitels work but you can play unencrypted *.vob files). If this isn't enough for your needs vlc is a good choice the other main candidate beeing mplayer I belive both need extra libraries to play encrypted, display menues on dvds.
