Very much in the process of learning linux, and reading all thedepending upon the distribution you are running have a look at totem and / or mplayer - available from freshrpms.net
documentation. In the initial stages I need some help to get me up and
running. One thing I am having problems with is opening up and viewing
mpeg files. When I open up a mpeg I get this message.
Konqueror crashed and caused signal 11 (SIGSEGV).
What am I doing wrong?

If you are running 7.3 or 8 I would recommend installing apt from freshrpms and using that. It makes installing and uninstalling childs play.
The commands are as follows:
down load apt for your version.
install as root using rpm -i apt*
then as root run apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -f; apt-get install synaptic
synaptic is a gui for installing and removing programs.
if you then run synaptic as root you can choose mplayer and totem and lots of other lovely stuff.
If you are running Red Hat 8, you may have noticed that samba browsing of the network is broken in konqueror and nautilus.
There are new kde packages that work very well available for download.
If you put the following line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file and then run apt-get update ; synaptic you will see a load of updates available.
rpm ftp://orca.st.usm.edu/ pub/apt/redhat/8.0/en/i386 os updates freshrpms mattrpms
Kind regards
