Install Ubuntu Netbook Edition with Wubi Installer
Wubi is a great way to try out Linux without messing up your existing system. It allows you to install Ubuntu on your Windows PC without partitioning the hard drive. You can then uninstall Ubuntu directly from the Windows Control Panel (although I can’t imagine why you’d want to). ;)
The Ubuntu Netbook Remix is specifically designed for small netbook screens, and is a big upgrade to a stock Windows install. Check out these screenshots:

Ubuntu dumps the brown, introduces new theme and branding
The new “Light” theme looks really nice. I don’t think Canonical ever truly realized how much the default brown theme was holding Ubuntu back. First impressions are huge; you can make the best OS in the whole world but if an average user’s first reaction is “wow, that’s sorta ugly” it won’t go anywhere.

Ubuntu Tip: Install Adobe Flash Player 10 in 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04
This stuff is way easier in 32-bit (normal) Ubuntu…
- Grab the Flash 64-bit pre-release here.
- Open a console (Applications>Accessories>Terminal).
- Unzip the file:
tar -xzf libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz(edit this line if your downloaded filename is different). - Copy the file to the plugin location:
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ - Restart Firefox. Enjoy the Flash Player!
