The initial install has gone well enough but tracking things down both on my system and online can be a nightmare. For instance playing MP3's. On the help page [url=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3#head-eea6f341d3c611167270106a187907c2a23e08e2] here[/url] the recommendation is to [i]"install the package libxine1-ffmpeg (which will install libmad0 as well).[/i] fine and dandy but why not provide a link to wherever I can find "libxine1-ffmpeg" to install? I've also been informed by "Add/Remove" that I can't install Flash on my machine as it does not support 64bit! Major bummer. So I'm still happy with learning and using the operating system but it's an uphill struggle There's plenty of documentation guides and support out there but that is part of the problem too. I've spent the last six hours of my life trying to get my screen to stop flickering (refresh rate) and to get my music to play. I still can't hear my music but I think the flickering has improved. I went to System> Administration> Restricted Drivers Manager and enabled my NVIDEA. The refresh rates offered then are still only 50 to 57 mhtz are the only screen res I can get is 1020x768. OK I know the answer may well be staring me in the face but I want the answer to tap me on the shoulder and say "Try this buddy" :) I think I'm getting Adobe withdrawal symptoms I'll have to switch to XP for a Photoshop therapy session.
