group and that you might be able to help me.

Personally, I'm a bit queasy about recommending 9.04 to people. It has too
many reports of sound and video not working for people. I would go with 8.10
for newbies.
I counter with Bluetooth not working in Kubuntu 8.10 (may not be an
issue for Ubuntu / Xubuntu users, but was for me) and video
