Or, you could try Mandriva Linux, I use is often at work and at home and it has all the codecs to play most common movie and music formats. You can get the 2008 PowerPack DVD at http://my.co.ke/pub/isos/ On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 4:03 PM, Mark Blois <markdb@google.com> wrote:
Hi Mark, You may also want to consider installing automatix on top of Ubuntu, a package which will let you install many other useful and popular tools/codecs afterwards.
Should be as simple as: sudo apt-get install automatix
cheers, Mark

Linux Mint comes with all the Codecs. There is a codec pack you can install
for linux though, probably simpler than downloading mint, reinstalling? Mint is based on Ubuntu. I have 6, Felicia, if you need a copy.
