Only real problem up to now is can't play dvds, tried Easy Ubuntu that did not fix it but maybe this new version will have it sorted.
Unlikely. DVD decryption is non-free and thus will not ever and can not ever be included legally with Ubuntu. However, I happen to have just the link for you!

Hi again just a short update about playing dvds on my laptop using Ubuntu 7.04. Followed instructions on Ubuntu web site for watching encrypted dvds, which were very close to simons, but still no success. qXine starts to open dvd then disappears from view. I am assuming that it is a hardware problem. But not really too concerned as would not watch a dvd film on a laptop anyway as I like a big screen. Thanks anyway for the tips they might have worked.
