the 1st being that it will not work with my graphic card (Nvidia FX5200 with TV Out)
the 2nd problem is that i can't get NTFS to mount
and the 3rd is that i can't seem to play mp3s
...more issues will be posted soon (Hope Not)

Install automatix2. You can install Nvidia drivers, NTFS support and audio codecs with ease.

To get mp3 and other codec support, simply install the "ubuntu-restricted" package.

The nVidia TV-Out socket does work in Ubuntu but needs to be configured first. Check the Ubuntu-Forums because I've seen numorous tutorials on there for this

Check the ubuntu-forums for an NTFS tutorial as well. I know there are tons on there

a few problems with Ubuntu,

to make life easier with *ubuntu, you could just throw Automatix at it, it's made my life easier, then when you know *ubuntu better you can stop using it

it allows you to install stuff very easily including an auto mounter for FAT32 / NTFS partitions & audio and video players and codecs

Edit: or say with the hard way

I Get This Error On The Last Step (Step 6)

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
automatix2: Depends: tango-icon-theme-common but it is not installable
Depends: tango-icon-theme but it is not installable
Depends: python-vte but it is not installable
Depends: python-gtkhtml2 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

unmet dependencies

well, to resolve dependency problems i use

sudo apt-get -f install

if you look, it does give you that command when it warns you about the unmet dependencies

BTW: the unofficial Ubuntu user guide is here
