I recommend always making a donation to Canonical, for their work.

I hope it's okay to post two questions in one post. Sorry if this is
incorrect.
I'm a new user. Just downloaded and installed Xubuntu for 32-bit
systems. It installed flawlessly.
Two problems:
1. I use Chromium as my browser. I can't seem to get it to know it's
the default browser. I have it set in the Preferred Applications. With
other distros, when I've had this problem, I had to uninstall Firefox to
fix the problem. I've done this, and it persists. And when I click on
a url in an email (I use Evolution), I still get the prompt to choose a
browser. Any thoughts on why this is happening?
2. I can't get videos to display correctly in Chromium. I have
flashplayer installed through Synaptic, but videos still won't display
-- very nutty looking, strange colors, compressed images. Any thoughts
here, too?
Many thanks from a new user.
