other debian/gnome based distos?
i have been using ubuntu/kubuntu dual install for several months. i have taken windows off my hard drive. i love ubuntu. kde is a little confusing and buggy for me. the gnome layuot is just right. i plan on keeping ubuntu as my primary os, but i have gotten the linux bug and would like to try another distro. what other debian/gnome based distros would you recommend?
also, i have gotten used to the apt way of doing things so i would like to try to stay with that.

restore grub after windows reinstall?
i am contimplating reinstalling xp to be able to update my bios. my motherboard went out before i installed ubuntu/kubuntu. when i got the computer back, i installed them both (dual boot) and did not reinstall xp. i had it updated before the motherboard went out and was able to update via cd at that point.my bios needs two updates that have to be performed in order and the first is exe or floppy only. i do not have a floppy drive. my concern is when windows rewrites it's master boot record to the hd, i will have to reinstall grub. is it possible to do this and keep my grub menu lists that i already have? currently kubuntu's grub menu controls the boot menu since it was installed after ubuntu. i would have to be able to use the kubuntu menu list. this scares me since i just got the 686 smp kernels for dual processors and ati 3d acceleration going. anyone have any ideas or advice?

help burning dvd iso image
i am trying to burn a dvd iso image with gnomebaker. when i try it says /dev/hda: media is not recognized as recordable dvd. i have never done this with linux(only cd images). i am using a dvd-r single layer 4.7 gb disc. i have two drives on my pc. i can't remember for sure because it has been a while, but i think with windows i had to use the bottom tray to write dvd's. when i try to choose the drive, gnomebaker will only let me choose the top tray. i know ubuntu recognizes the bottom drive, because i watch dvd movies in it. i am not sure if it is hardware related or if i need to try another cd/dvd burner. can anyone shed some light on this?
