$200 computer and video

[Joel Hammer]

I posted awhile back about my lindows box ($200, Debian distro). I noted
that running xine froze  the computer and required a reinstall of the
whole dang thing.  Since then, I have been leery of video, although
realplayer has worked fine.

I just installed mplayer from the lindows warehouse (I mean, how else can
you view those movies from the weather satellites?). It runs beautifully.
So, there is hope for video on this box.
