I am new to the Acer and think it is a great piece of kit but..... Linux is an absolute nightmare to deal with. I want to play downloaded videos which use the .AVI format. I have tried following a similar thread on how to install a Linux equivalent file but have got absolutely nowhere. In very very simple terms can anybody give me instructions on what I need to do to enable me to view the avi format. All I get is the sound but no picture. Also, are there any video formats already embedded in Linux as it might be easier to find compatible videos rather than using avi. Many thanks.
