I was given a computer without a operating system. I downloaded ubuntu and I can't get the DVD player to work. I can stream off the net but can't play DVDs. This is my first encounter outside Microsoft. I guess what I am asking is there a good player for CD/DVD that anyone knows of? Second I am thinking about getting rid of XP. What are the pros and cons of such a action.

I found this thought I'd post since it answers my question.

Ubuntu has a certification system for third party software.[46] Some third-party software that does not limit distribution is included in Ubuntu's multiverse component. The package ubuntu-restricted-extras additionally contains software that may be legally restricted, including support for MP3 and DVD playback, Microsoft TrueType core fonts, Sun's Java runtime environment, Adobe's Flash Player plugin, many common audio/video codecs, and unrar, an unarchiver for files compressed in the RAR file format.

Additionally, several third party application suites are available for purchase through the Canonical web-based store, including software for DVD playback and media codecs.
