[nflug] More multimedia config stuff

[David Mangani]

Hi Joe,

I've been using ubuntu based distro's for a while, currently using
Gutsy. Both of the links you posted run fine for me on Gutsy. I do
regularly view YouTube videos with no trouble, and did on feisty as
well. I've never had to "hack" or manually fiddle much at all. All of
the multimedia stuff can be added through synaptic IF you enable all
repositories including restricted. If done in this manner everything
seems to just work. The only issue I recall having to research was dvd
playback. For that check out this ubuntu forum link to mediabuntu
repos and how to add them to synaptic.

Good luck Joe
Dave
