Hi Patrick
First of all, the answer depends on which desktop you want to run - KDE
or GNOME. If latter, I'd stronly recommend upgrading your desktop to
gnome 2.10. You can do it using yum or apt-get from various
repositories. I use the one on www.nrpms.net. Also DAG repository
(http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/) is great. Freshrpms.net sometimes
can be useful as well. And, sure, don't forget "Fedora extras". These
repositories contain a lot of prebuilt bleeding-edge packages. If you
have any interest in java, www.jpackage.org is your friend.
For movies, I use totem and mplayer, for mp3 - beep-media-player (gtk2
fork of xmms) and rhythmbox.
Regarding the screen - the answer depends on the HW you got.
HTH,
Sergey
