ah, but xmms in RH has the mp3 functionality removed due to patent 
issues. You can get the xmms-mp3 package from http://freshrpms.net if 
you need it.

There are a number of good video players for linux.
Arguably the two most popular are
Mplayer
Xine
although there are others, depending on your preferences.

They don't all play all formats - some formats are proprietary and there 
aren't any completely functional codecsfor linux as yet.
once again these rpms are available for various versions of RH and Fedora.

to install them, provided you have a decent net connection, apt or yum 
might be a good choice

ie d/l and install apt4rpm or yum
then apt-get install mplayer
or yum install mplayer

[or xine, etc, etc...]
