Thanks!

I'm receiving a lot of new information! thanks. I try to understand it
considering my english level is not high.
I'm between:
- X + Xine
But I'm afraid about performance with running X. What desktop
you recommend? windowmaker?
Any ideas to take advantge from X aside from Xine?
- Softdevice + DirectFB (unichrome for hw acceleration?)

What are the difs on this plugins?
Thanks
