Playing movies ,songs in Fedora linux ,Installing VLC in Linux

One  of the main reason why home users dont prefer linux to use is that they can t play music on linux machine. This article will describe how to play movies in your fedora linux. VLC media player is capable to play any music file . by default Fedora does not come with VLC media player. So here i am going to explain how to install VLC  media Player in Linux. This not big game just 3 step procedure. All you need to have a Fedora working machine with  configured and working yum repositry and a stabel internet connection.

Open terminal and type there: ( you must be login with root otherwise try su )

[root@malanch ~]# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm


This will display like this:
