OK.. this presents a small problem for me. I want to be able to play Blu Ray discs in my HTPC not just from the HDD.
I also read something about not being able to play Video Games using Ubuntu.

I guess I should have mentioned that I am making this a total media center.. so it will have a high end graphics card for gaming as well.

Looks like Windows is starting to creep back in.. UBUNTU
