I HAVE MY OWN INTERNET. ON MY OWN COMPUTER IN MY OWN ROOM.

Well, in the basement, but hardly anyone will bother me down here.

Now I just need an Ubuntu program that navigates DVD menus and some way to convince the computer that this is in fact a widescreen monitor and I'm golden.

Yay! :)

Solution to the monitor issue: dual-boot Windows XP (which likes the widescreen, and which doesn't have a few other minor annoyances Ubuntu does) and Ubuntu. And VLC Player works fine with DVDs in Windows. (I pity anyone who got grouched at by WMP or RealPlayer for not having bought the appropriate DVD decoder and who then bought the appropriate DVD decoder. VLC Player plays DVDs for free.) So it should work fine in Ubuntu though I have yet to check.

System> preferences> Monitors to check ubuntu + widescreen, and yeah, vlc works in ubuntu
