I'd better start by admitting that I'm a fan of KDE. It's not because it works like Windows, but for the quality of the tools available. However, a GUI is just a way of doing something and I think I've been a bit dismissive of the Gnome desktop up to now. I read a few reviews of Ubuntu, looked at their web site and decided to have a look. I wanted a general purpose (desktop) distribution and an opportunity to get to know the Gnome utilities.

This article is terrible. Don't even bother reading it if you have not already. The author has put forth absolutely zero effort obtaining his desired result.
*DVD and MP3 playback are both easily obtainable and you need go no further than the Ubuntu Wiki for the info.
*As others have said you can easily set a root password.
*Also, the placement of menus is a GNOME design decision, not an Ubuntu design.
*You can change the placement of the panels and what menus and applets are available on your panels.
*As to the aesthetics of the Ubuntu theme, please read the Ubuntu Web site.
*Spatial Nautilus is a topic that has been discussed ad nauseam since the advent of GNOME 2.8. Google for one of the countless sites that tells you how you can turn off spatial view.
By the way, if you don't like GNOME, then please apt-get KDE.
