Im having a problem with users now....
I am the only user on it [jim] but i cant set permissions cause im not the root user...
I'm not sure which permissions you want to change but if you want to be root just activate the root account.
To activate the root account, open a terminal and type :
sudo passwd root
First give jim's password to prove to sudo who you are, passwd will then ask you to choose the new root password, and to confirm it by typing it again.
That's all. From now on, whenever you feel the urge to be root, you can type the switch user command:
su
and after giving the root password you can start programs with root privileges (like using apt-get without typing sudo on every line), or use the chmod command to change privileges. (you'll notice the prompt has switched from $ to #)
when you're ready with your admin tasks, type 'su jim' to get back to your own account.

best dvd authoring app? you mean like creating menus and converting .mpeg or whatever to a dvd? you want tovid - it's great. be sure to install tovid-gui (I believe that's what it's called) - creates menus etc. automatically.
sudo apt-get install tovid sudo apt-get install tovid-gui
to burn dvds I use dvdbackup to rip the disc, dvdshrink via wine to convert to .iso, and k3b to burn to disc. I'm sure there is an easier way to do it, but I'm comfortable with this method. dvdshrink instructions

Im going to do that now bi0...
it is pretty safe to assume I havent done anything yet.
I did all the multimedia codecs, upgraded to firefox 1.5, just installed dvd::rip (but I have 5.10, so apparently it might not work)

hey thanks
I would, but I'm not at my computer now. All of my stuff is in storage for the next month...and I am, well, homeless right now...crashing at friends. posting at a computer lab right now. it's great. I dont think my sources.list is any different from that site...I do have some extra sources for the latest wine & OO.o - that's it though.

I havent heard of much luck with dvdrip. I like dvdbackup - it's a commandline app. works perfectly.

it's just a regular gnome panel with only icons on it, set to be transparent.
