As I read more about Ubuntu Linux, I’m getting more excited about installing it on our Alienware tower. We posted an item about Lifehacker’s “Top Ten Ubuntu Apps & Tweaks” the other day. Now Linux.com has Ten Tips for New Ubuntu Users. It has useful info, such as what you need to do to install KDE or Xfce desktops on top of Ubuntu, how to get multimedia working (for licensing reasons, it doesn’t support MP3, DVD and other media formats out of the box, but for most hardware, this is easily fixed with some packages), changing defaults to your liking, etc. Definitely worth taking a look at if you’re about to take the Ubuntu plunge.
