Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu I upgraded my laptop to the latest Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon a few days ago only to be greeted with an additional feel of polish and goodness. Read more for our mini preview.

It might have been said before (although if I haven't seen the comment), but

-you can compile ffmpeg for yourself (as anyone who's ever used Slackware should be familiar with)

-maybe better, use codecs from the (3rd party)Debian multimedia repository http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ . Codecs from Testing worked fine for me in Breezy 5.10 before I made the switch to Testing completely. Just add the repository and import the key, it's all explained on the site.
If you want a really up to date package there might be one in the Unstable Sid repository, and the source code is also available there. (EDIT: Added the bit about Unstable.)
