.mp3 playback is easy: you just need to install the necessary file 
called xmms-mp3. The details (in case you aren't familiar with the joys 
of using yum for software installation) are at this url:

Once you have yum configured, you can easily install the software with 
this command at a root prompt:

yum install xmms-mp3

For the video playback in a browser, hit this section:

where you can read that this command will do the trick (most of the 
time) for you:

yum install mplayerplug-in

Now about those .rm files -- someone else is going to have to help with 
that one! I've not had much success with either the Real Player for 
Linux or the Helix Player, but it's been a long time since I've tried 
either.

Hope this helps,
Clint
