Ubuntu!

OK, really quick:
1) The default java implementation ... stinks. Go to java.com and get a real implementation.
2) The multimedia answer is VLC. If I could sum up all the questions for how to watch DVDs, listen to streaming audio (like Live 365), etc., the answer is VLC. No, really. Yes, that DVD:/ error on totem. Install VLC. Use it. Enjoy.
3) All the cool Compiz goodness that you see on YouTube -- Wiggly windows, etc., are in System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects and Extra. But you need to install the compizconfig-settings-manager and go back to there (Custom) and have fun
