Nathan and all:
This is not a point by point response to you posting. But is my experience 
with Linux. For me Multimedia is important. But I do not need DVD playing 
support for that I have a DVD player and a PS2 machine that does that. But I 
need wma support and mp3 etc. With all the linux distro's this has been an 
easy task, taking only about 15 min to download and install the software. I 
have even found some distros that come with the support, PCLinuxOS and Mepis 
come to mind. I am using Kanotix currently and to the install the support, I 
deeded I simply went to there support pages and downloaded some scripts they 
had and executed them. Now I have all that I need. I have not used Windows in 
over 7 to 9 years. I have no need for it and am a happy Linux Camper and do 
not spend much time administering my system, perhaps a half hour per week 
running the updater and installing updates that is it. I have never run into 
the problems that you have. I would choose a distro spend the hour or two 
configuring it and simply stick with it for a year then make intelligent 
decision as to what software/OS to use.
