The only thing I've found it doesn't have is vlc (but I prefer mplayer anyway :D). Like you say, there a few dependency problems. But all I had to do was grab a couple of newer deb files from the debian site. Cheers Hmmm, yeah debian-multimedia seems to be good.

This is probably exactly what I'm looking for. I haven't tested it yet, but if this fixes my problems, then my quest is at an end :D. Hey, thanks! This is probably exactly what I’m looking for.

I use gobuntu hardy in the most free software configuration. however i found myself in exactly the same position as you - medibuntu doesn't have two strands. however debian multimedia does have free and non-free, as an added advantage it also has a lot more software. therefore I have added the debian testing debian multimedia repositories to my sources.list: (uk mirror:) deb http://debian.ids-services.de/debian-multimedia/ testing main deb-src http://debian.ids-services.de/debian-multimedia/ testing main i have found a few conflicts, but mainly because i simply wanted all the video editing software for gnu/linux so i could test drive it. in terms of sorting out multiverse. - i think i'm going to change my surces to that of gnewsense 2.0, see how it goees, and if necessary, rebuild the machine... heh
