Dear Roberto:

Thanks for the tip. My choice is to either install RealPlayer as a .bin file 
or as an RPM (or, rather, after converting it to Deb by using alien). Which 
one is preferable? 

Finally, if I use the .bin file, should I consider using "stow" to install it 
so that I can uninstall it, if necessary, in the future?

Thank you.

Benjamin
