I'm trying to "learn" Linux at the moment. On my pottering around with laptop I have Ubuntu Jaunty installed and I also have it dual boot with XP on my desktop. I have several other distro images on disk also which I will try out when I inevitably bugger up the Jaunty installation.
As a beginner to Linux - my main gripe is DVD playback and all the codecs etc. No matter what updates / codecs / players I install from the repositories, and following all the advice on the millions of Linux websites - I cannot get DVDs to play with a decent picture. It's always slow and grainy.
It took me a few days to figure how to get sound on youtube also. At least I'm on the learning curve though - if at the bottom
