Hi,

just want to share my opinion on the article. I followed the instructions in the how-to, which screwed my multimedia (for example: the firefox stopped playing some contest). After additional digging I found another article which appears to be more consistent and gives more details: http://ubuntutip.googlepages.com/home and it helped me to get back all the multimedia functionality.

Although I found all additional repositories (mentioned on that page) before it helped me to sort out the difference between gstreamer vs xine engines and other codecs, and what should be installed. As a bonus I can play ape files as well now .

IMHO: the how-to  should give more tech details not just nice snapshots. After all it is not fashion forum .

Thanks anyway for the how-to, I would miss some good staff like filezilla (did not know it does exist on linux)  or streamtuner...
