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.

cd-rom name change, can't mount now
my issue is i booted my computer up about a week ago and it said there were no cd-roms, so i checked my bios and everything was there but i noticed that the names of the drives had changed so i was wondering if there is a way to re-detect them?
i have been using ubuntu for a about two years and usually can resolve these things; however i can't figure this out for the life of me.
