The majority of the stuff on that list is obvious and expected of any major distro or is just nitpicking and giving haters something to bitch about. I haven't used a distro in some time that didn't require work on my part to get multimedia working. It's a shame that's the way it is but it isn't Ubuntus fault... Ubuntu is a damn good distro and 5.10 is a huge improvement over 5.04.Anyway this program seems to download the codecs right off the Mplayer site and that would explain why it's been timing out all day.

i think it's better you learn how to do this kinda stuff via the terminal, shows you how the file system is organized. And before you said it, theres a site where you can copy and paste all the commandswww.ubuntuguide.com, all of them apart from the fonts work(just change the directory).

I want to try the latest Ubuntu also, but it still won't won't detect all devices on any of my PCs. Mepis.org takes care of me nicely though.

How can you be stupid enough not to get Ubuntu to work? If you have problems, visit the Wiki or the IRC channel for help.

Looks good. I know how to do all this very easily and quickly but anything that helps newcomers to Linux is a good thing.

Easy ubuntu has been out for a while.And, it's not really that great, most of the stuff it does can be downloaded using Ubuntu's built in software.Hit Applications> Add Applications.

zonk3r, ctrl-alt-f1 will take you from x to a command line.Crtl-alt f7 will get you back

Indeed. The correct term, ala Strongbad, is lappy.

I used Mepis for about a year before switching to Ubuntu, and I have to say, neither is better. They're both great.
