I have to say that for my laptop (a Dell Latitude D830) on jaunty (i haven't upgraded yet), i found #2 (installing the proprietary driver for my NVIDIA graphics card) essential. If i didn't, dual screen never worked, and neither did power management.
I've also got to say that #3 & #5 are less than useful to me - i want minimal distractions on my desktop, so i use the icewm window manager, which provides similar features with a lot less visual noise. (Admittedly, i'm a little old-fashioned, and i still do a lot of work in terminal sessions.) And #10 is a must! If it's not better than Windows & Mac, why are we doing this? :-) Paul -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
