I think many sides provide the guidance of how to install linux step by step like..
maximumpc.com
.smartcomputing.com/
laptoplogic.com
ETC ETC ETC.............
Thanks....
 

you could get lot help if you look into **broken link removed** and for Linux software you could check site like softhello.com....
guess those work for you...
 

If your on windows, you could use VMPlayer to create a VirtualLinux PC within windows... Performance seems OK on mine... (I use fedora11)... Once setup I have it now on a dedicated laptop that I just SSH and X11 from...

To view online movies in X, you will probably need the GSTREAMER libraries, "Ugly, Bad and good". I had to add the "Levina" repository (google it) to YUM to get them,
but other linny's might be different... "rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm" adds it easily...

Once this was done it was just
"yum install gstreamer-plugins gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad"

Once you got the libraries, VLC, Real and other players should be ok for MPeg and Divx movies.

If u dont know anything more abt commands,repository
You can go for Linux Mint.... for movies

otherwise
If u want to see movies in redhat ..you need to install VLC player with resolving the dependencies ...
And u have to also install flash rpm so that u can watch online..

To install VLC exe file you can use WINE packeges ...which creates windows environment in Linux..
 

Instead of VMWare you can use VirtualBox for a virtual PC. Within this you can easily install and test linux.
