It depends on what distro you are using. Most distros have what is called a "package manager", where you can choose what programs you want to install and remove. In the "Related links" section below is a guide on how to use two of the most common package manager front-ends, Synaptic and Adept. If your front-end is not listed below, or if you want to use the command line, please re-ask your question with the Linux distro you are using specified.
Download the VLC for Linux and then you have to run the setup to install the program.
There are a HUGE amount of packages available in Linux. Thousands upon thousands. You have to keep in mind that even a program that, to you, is just one program, is actually made up of several packages. For example, if you want to install the VLC media player, you have to install a package called VLC, but also a package called VLC-NOX, VLC-Data, libvlc2, libvcdinfo0, etc...
Open a console/terminal, type ¨sudo apt-get install VLC¨, enter your password when he screen prompts you, then it ubuntu will get VLC and install it for you.

Just go to VideoLan.org and download the windows version of the VLC Media Player. From there auto-install will guide you through it.

VLC Media is an open source player for video and audio files, DVDs, and VCDs. It works on most common operating systems such as Mac, Linux and Windows.
Arg, haven't used Redhat, but try looking at repositories (synaptic package manager?) and try VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
