Apt-get.org is great indeed. Nice place to get Mplayer from. I was kind of ignorant about Mplayer's abilities to play a wide variety of file formats. With the mozilla plugin I have been able to stream Windows media and Qicktime. This may seem like blasphemy to some, but there is really no other way to watch movie trailers on the net. Techtv streams all it's stuff in Windows Media and there is some interesting stuff on there sometimes. They are certainly linux friendly anyway.
