  What do people recommend for a media player that looks quite plain, and just gives me the title of the track I'm playing?  Also, how easy is it to upgrade from 6.06 to 7.04?

   Also, does anyone know of any half-decent P2P progs?  Apart from Limewire.  I hate Limewire.

oo nice one, bet the kids love you laugh
 as far as i am aware you put 
Code:
gksu "update-manager -c"
in the terminal window and then the upgrade manager will alert you that there is a new version.
I think you would have to do it twice, once to edgy and then to feisty.. i don't think you can go straight to feisty..

here is a link to the "how to upgrade to edgy" thread on ubuntu support
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades

someone else asking the same question http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=446500&highlight=upgrade+dapper+to+feisty

i use torrents (azureus), but i think there is an emule alternative? have you searched the repository for p2p? not sure what is available.
