Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have a problem. I can play wmv/avi/mov/divx/etc. files through Xine, but I cannot, say, go to ifilm.com and view any movies on that site. I can't view movie files through firefox, but I can view them out of it. How would I go about getting firefox to play embedded movie files?
However, I also installed mplayerplug-in before this, and now it's giving me trouble - it crashes firefox whenever it runs, but it doesn't run all the time. The other times it uses Xine.
Also, whenever I'm on ifilm.com, Xine cannot recognize the file, and can't play it.
I had some trouble with iFilm using the Quicktime and Windows Media Player settings. When I used RealPlayer, the MPlayer plugin worked just fine for that (I should mention, of course, that I have RealPlayer installed, too).
I stumbled upon a similar problem yesterday. It seems that some sites simply refuse to work with "mplayerplug-in". Apple's movie trailer site was ok, but this another one (www.raiclick.tv) did not function.
In addition to "mplayerplug-in" you could try "kaffeine" with "kaffeine-mozilla" -plugin.
