    It looks cool that Ubuntu is prevailing, from this thing I try to use it and left in despirate that I cant install mplayer on my distro. like idiots. Have you some link to the .deb package to mplayer for ubuntu, so that I can install it on my box. (I have no internet on my box)

    Hope if you have .deb package of mplayer, then you will share with me.

    Thanks
