Dag Wieers repo has
mozilla-flash, mozilla-j2re, and mplayer. I'm sure he also has an mp3 player .. but I think you can use mplayer for that too.
Realplayer is free from real.com
Dags repo and instructions are here: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php#B

MS TrueType Fonts are no longer available, and there's a mess of licensing restriction surrounding them. Basically you can't get them anymore unless you know how to do it yourself.
See http://www.microsoft.com/truetype/fontpack/win.htm for details.

hmmm...so that means that sites that use them will not be rendered well on non-M$ desktops? Any open-source alternative projects coming up?
Any links on how to get them from your M$ system?
With regards. Sanjay.

Sanjay,
There were a few threads on installing the MS fonts just a short time ago on here. I installed them on my x86_64 box. Not trivial, but not really difficult either. Search the message archives and you should find them.

The MS TrueType fonts are available here: http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ in a nice easy-to-install package. Apparently at one time the fonts were available under a licence which wasn't too restrictive so you can still use these ones under that non-restrictive licence.

IIRC the main restrictions was that they could only be distributed in their original .EXE installers and could not be shipped as part of a collection.
Corefonts gets around the issues by having the .spec file download and extract the fonts out of .EXEs downloaded from the SF site and building a local rpm that you can install but not distribute.
I've used it in the past and it works pretty well.
