I used to love this player, I was using it on my windows and linux but recently I removed it from Linux, the only bad thing about it is Java, I hate programs made with Java, they are so slow.

@Clapico,

It's amazing that you are translating and sharing to reach a wider audience. That's the essence of open source. I am planning to soon have creative common licensing for my site so authors like you can translate, copy and publish this stuff without permission :). Your blog looks great! Subscribed :) I hope you are leaving the credits to LinuxHub on the translated post :)

About Vivek

LinuxHub is an effort to make the lives of new linux users as simple as possible. Although it will focus extensively on using Ubuntu (@this moment Jaunty Jackalope), I am sure all the help and tutorials can be applied across other distros of Linux. We will try not only to cover state of art How-Tos but also some fun stuff like pimping up your Ubuntu and other similar posts. Time to time we might also cover some major news story in the world of Linux. Please let us know what you feel about LinuxHub by dropping us your comments/remarks.
