Ubuntu does not have xmms(uses rhythmbox instead) and you need to download plugins to play mp3 and watch movies. this is the only downside.
sudo apt-get install xmms -
sudo apt-get install xmmsInstalling additional packages means having internet with good bandwidth. Don't have that :( - बुरा जो देखण मै चला, बुरा न िमलया कोय, जो मन खोजा आपणा तो मुझसे बुरा न कोय। Translation

Absolutely. Been using 32- and 64-bit versions for a while now after jumping ship from SuSE as they didn't support my scanner. XMMS works fine, plays MP3s with no problem. Asynes yw brassa ages kwilkynyow.

Funny thing, when I installed it the wifi worked, after running updates, it doesnt... I think the module is not being loaded for some reason.

Tree in C# || Fold With Us! || sighistI think leppie's "cryptic linux commands" are just kind solution for having xmms on ubuntu, and are well known for every debian/ubuntu user ;) Did you try Knoppix? The all-in-one distribution livecd. I'm sure there's some way to install xmms without internet tough, just by downloading it and then apt-getting it ;))
