Hi, I'm brand new to linux...
In order to get streaming video I downloaded a ton of applications, add-ons etc. willy-nilly, and can get video OK from some web sites including youtube.
However, some other sites which flowed well when browsed from IE under XP hang up using ubuntu with gnome desktop.
Also, I have two monitors installed which work fine under XP. In ubuntu, when I go to administration>screens and graphics and select the second monitor to be enabled, it does not do so, and when I restart the system, it bombs and gives me an error page that I am sorry not to have written down. I could not restart at all and wound up reinstalling ubuntu. This happened three times.
I know I am doing some things wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!
Bob
