Ubuntu it all about learning - trust me. There was a time when I wonted to bin the PC but now I LOVE UBUNTU it is the best.

Because of two things: Automatix the interface software that allows you to install codec - I best to install each 'package' on the own with Automatix and a little money I installed CrossOver for all my Windows applications. Now I have an OS that much more stable then Windows really nice to use with a fantasic community.

Thanks
