Hi folks,

I am new to the Linux world. But since I was forced to work on a Linux box
now. I have to get used to it and find some entertainment... Is there a
multimedia software that can play RM(Real Video), WMV(Windows video),
Quicktime Video and MP3 all of these on my Linux box?

It is bad if I need to install one software for each of the media
application: I know in Linux, installing means compilation, that's quite
troublesome. So I am just looking for a ALL-in-one and the most popular such
kind of software in Linux world... and then I can view those multimedia
contents...

I don't know why my Redhat 9.0 cannot play MP3... I am using KDE now...

Thank you,

-Gino
