First Problem Solved


After installing Ubuntu (which is really easy), it became clear that the first problem to resolve was with flash video playback. Using the recommended Flash Player download (version 9) from Ubuntu's 'Add/Remove' application, videos from websites like YouTube and Hulu were displayed at very low frame rates and were completely unwatchable in full screen. The solution to this situation is to uninstall Flash Player 9 using the Synaptic Package Manager (System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager) and then manually download the Flash Player 10 beta here. Simply run the Flash 10 installer in the terminal and flv videos should run well.
