kubuntu customization

Over the past few weeks I have been modifying my kubuntu system to fit my wants and needs.
I decided that I wanted to play video clips and found that several of the proprietary formats such as wmv and mov did not work in the linux players. I installed sever players and finally installed the w32codec (from an italian web site) and it worked fine. I also installed the libdvdread3 library so I could play commercial dvds. Drm is a pain.

I also got gpg working; foudn a few open usenet servers and installed the ubuntu, ebuntu, and xbuntu desktops - really neat stuff. I also pulled out ipv6 support and stuff like firefox works a lot better.
