Have a look at vlc. I find it does more than mplayer - in particular, it allows you to move back and forth easily or speed up the playing. I find that xpdf does almost everything that acrobat does and is probably easier to use. Keyjnote is prettier but slower. A final thought; look at wajig for managing packages; it integrates dpkg and apt-get and works better than aptitude for me.
