+	Here you can find everything needed to get MPlayer up and running.
 	The recommended way to install MPlayer is to compile from source.
 	Look at the
 	<a href="projects.html#unofficial_packages">unofficial packages</a>
 	section of our projects page if you do not wish to compile from
 	source and/or are looking for packages that may be more tightly
 	integrated with your platform.
-	Just remember that we do not support any unofficial packages,
-	only the official ones listed below.
+	You might also want to check out the
+	<a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/projects.html#mplayer_frontends">other frontends</a>
+	since there is no further development and limited bug fixing for the
+	included graphical user interface.

+<p>
+	Be advised that we do not support any unofficial packages, only the
+	official ones listed below. If you have trouble with unofficial
+	packages, get support from the respective authors.
