Here's a follow-up to my Ubunutu experience.
Flash is not automatically included in the install with version
10.10. I haven't followed through with GNASH.
Display resolution does not match up with the default in
preferences (800x600) and there are no options in preferences to
select your monitor. I posted this on ubunutuforums.org support and
have gotten response from someone who is cobbling code for me that
I will have to applie through terminal which I am less than
thrilled about.
Ubuntu is definitely not as seamless as I had hoped.
In over a dozen installs of Linux (that's a dozen different distros)
I think that only once or twice has the XWindows worked out of the
box. Most times it requires adding monitor resolution settings. In
some cases it works but at a small resolution. Other times it just
can't start X and leaves you in the shell.
It's not hard to change but you do need to know what to do. I was
able to fix it the first few times by checking on the web. After
that I knew what to look for (and had another machine available to
use as a template).
