Well, I decided to try out Xubuntu.  I used the "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" command to get it and install it.  No problems there.  Then I tried it out.  I had heard that it is supposed to use less CPU power - and man it flew!  And Beryl worked on it as well!  Whoa!  Loved it.  Highly recommend Xubuntu!
Aaaaannnnnddddd...I was playing with the audio controls in Xubuntu and found where a video volume was turned all the way down.  So I thought to myself, 'Self, this might be why you have no audio with your DVDs.'  And I was right!  I tried my handy Star Wars Episode III after adjusting the volume and I had sound!  And then moving the DVD screen aroudn with Beryl was just awesome....  So cool....
So the world was great...and I had to play with more settings...
now Xubuntu has no panels (so therefore no real controls), Beryl isn't working...and life is sad.  You can read exactly what I did in this thread where where I'm begging for help.
Kubuntu works fine...so I may use it to try and uninstall Xubuntu...I'm praying that works.  If not, I may be reinstalling ubuntu (and Xubuntu!) all over again...
