everyone of us was a newbie at one point of time ... don't be sorry for it.. i had been using redhat since the last 6 years and have shifted to debian around 8 months back and belive me these have been the best 8 linuxing months i've spent yet ... > > It seems to me, for my purposes, that to function on the internet > and interact with the most prominent file types, it's necessary > to use non- free or unstable packages. For example, I recently the kaffe VM works pretty well ... and it ya for a newbie the learning curve with debian is there ... but then the rewards are much better ... for the windows media part ... afaik mplayer supports it .. and no it does'nt make debian unstable. It's as good a software as they come.I run a stable debian only system ... this system does'nt even has mplayer and acts as my mail gateway .. and it's as stable as they get. Welcome aboard again.
