Well,
I had to do it myself and install MPlayer because there was no movie player in
Slack 9.0. OTOH, lots of MP3 players. All in all, Slack is pretty stable,
secure, and easy to use once you dwell into the *nix concept. I pretty much love
it after 9 months of enjoyable playtime, coming from Mandrake.
