 # apt-get install xine-ui

I'm not sure what, if anything needs to be done to make it play a DVD, 
but it did report a missing codec (related to the sound part only) of 
some .mov clips which I was trying to download from clips.outfoxed.org.  
I didn't realized that Xine doesn't come with a full library of 
codecs...since I've used it before without trouble on other systems 
where it was part of the distribution.  I guess I'll go check it out and 
see what codecs I can download to support most formats.
