[Help with Ubuntu]

Thanks for the help all.... starting to get use to linux.

[Help with Ubuntu]

Ok I know that I am a total Newbie when it comes to installing and using linux but I have finally gotten fed up with windows crashing and going so slow it reminds me of dial-up days.

I reformatted my hard drive and installed the new Umbuntu. I tried to play a dvd the other day and I keep getting an error with the Totem movie player. I have downloaded all the add-ins for totem and it is still not working. Do I need to reinstall some drivers for this (I know, I only worked with windows and still trying to learn linux)?

Also anyone know of any good training books for Linux so I am not a total newb?
