For those of you using Ubuntu or setting it up for newbies, one of the
biggest headaches you've probably had is getting all the non-free
multimedia stuff working properly (flash for YouTube, mp3 support, DVD
playing etc). I came across this handy how-to on setting up the
'mediabuntu' repository and getting all that stuff up and running:

BTW Interest in a reconfigure Linux Play type session seems to be
pretty positive. Daniel will ask whether Oblong is still willing to
host at the next collective meeting. I will keep you posted. Another
thought occurred to me about timing. If we do 2 sessions a month, and
make them the last 2 Sat/ Suns before Oblong's broadband cap resets,
those would be better times to do things like download new distros
that use of lots of bandwidth.
