Yes, I do have one word of caution though:

I downloaded VLC to my netbook through apt-get and ran it from the terminal. When run from the terminal it was outputting errors like the below (not actual domains): cannot reach 442g.com => skipping... cannot reach muzak.com => skipping... cannot reach 3g3.com => skipping... cannot reach gewedw.com => skipping... cannot reach ewfr.com => skipping... I've always wondered why but never really looked into it.

Perhaps it is looking for details of your music/CD/DVD. There is an option for it automatically fetch such details as a list of tracks, artist, etc, to display.
