10.04 is the LTS version right? My Lenny's support recently expired but it 
still seems to work OK to me. I just hand upgraded my movie player, for 
whatever reason Debian was holding it back anyways.

I still apt-getted a lot of the dev deps I needed in order to do it. So I guess 
keeping an EOL distro version going is a bit more work than a supported one, 
but there is still a lot to be said for a setup that works now. I think the 
custom mplayer I built is better than anything sitting in any repository 
anyways. I can play some mkv files now full screen I couldn't before for 
instance.

Some here are real torture tests:
