    I just switched to a Linux Operating system (Suse Linux 10.0). I switched because im tired of MS Windows locking up and slowing me down. I'm trying to get a video player that can play videos that i download from the internet - mpg/avi/mov etc. The players that the software came with, kde and real10 dont seem to play alot of these formats. I'm having trouble installing a video player, ive tried mplayer and VLC but being new to linux, i have trouble installing. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

    svar91, Suse is pretty good. But I wouldnt take my word on it. I am new to linux and Suse 10.0 is the first and only linux software i have tried. Before then i only used Windows. I'm still new to the world of linux but im slowly learning
