Well I suppose if thats how you want to look at it. I was just showing
people who use debian that its really easy to do as a result of one mans
really hard work.

As you can tell from other sources on the net (
http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=jwz&itemid=123070 )

getting all this to work under linux isn't that easy.

Really this isn't a distro war or distro flame.

Unless apt is debian.

It just so happens that debian does apt best and is still supported
unlike other deb based distros.

Well the easy way to get this stuff to work on your own is to just download all the source files yourself, all their deps and compile.

I suppose the day that someone comes up with an interdistro packaging system I can post how to install mplayer using that system.

Talk about being ungrateful for someones hard work. (not mine mind you)
