I would definitely have to recommend MPlayer, although this is a common topic, you might want to just search for it. But my favorite is MPlayer, although other people seem to like Xine and Totem as well. Give them all a try and see what you like the best.

a distro is the flavour of linux you're running.

(eg Redhat/Fedora, SuSE, Mandrake, Slackware, gentoo, etc...)

No, you didn't follow the instructions.

You also need the following (or newer) packages [...]
lame-libs-3.9x (from here)
The warning about missing key for signature can be silenced by importing my GPG key,
as described here.
