I not sure what you're asking mate...
What Linux distribution are you running? Does your window manager load up - or do you only get the console? Downloading codecs on Linux can be a bit difficult. (It can also be very easy - depends on the distribution.) I run Ubuntu on all my PC's at home and I use a program called EasyUbuntu to automatically download all my codecs and a few other goodies that don't come installed by default. Oh and VLC was originally a Linux program. It has been converted to run on windows.

This guide will instruct you on how to install all the various codecs you will want. I've uninstalled Suse 10.1 for Ubuntu 6.06. I just like the far superior package management system. Suse is still a great distro. |
