certainly if you are careful and only take what you want from

debian-multimedia.org, and keep track of what is breaking things, then you can

make it work.
I personally prefer to have a separate system for those codecs and such, and use

them as little as possible.
There is another reason to use two boots - Ralf mentioned using wine, and having

a 64bit system. Wine is much easier on 32bit systems, and it would be a good

idea to have a 32bit system (set up to be used via chroot perhaps) for wine

so it may as well be something like Mint which includes the stuff that debian

won't include.
