I have been using Ubuntu on my desktop at home for a couple of years, and I am still amazed by it, especially doing the 6 monthly upgrade where I just type in the new repository names and a couple of lines on the terminal and then sit back and watch the machine do it all for me.
I have just convinced my wife to swap to Ubuntu on our laptop, and for the first time am trying to get audio and DVDs to work on Ubuntu. The audio is now fine, and I can play CDs and mp3s with no difficulty, but DVDs are another matter. The information about this seems fragmentary, and it seems that the resources I need are scattered some in rather inaccessible spots. Is there a complete how to do it somewhere? That will take me through to the point where I can play DVDs on Ubuntu? I'd appreciate any advice, and if there's not an easy one shot solution I will post my more precise difficulties for help.
