Decided on Ubunut for my laptop

well, first I thought I'd give Geubuntu a go for the OS on my laptop. I figured since it was based off Ubuntu then it shouldn't be too rough. Well, it wasn't, really...until I found out there were some bugs in the networking side of the display manager. Since I am going to be setting up a home network here, I realized that regular Ubuntu was going to be my best bet.

The best part is, when I installed Ubuntu, I automatically recognized my wireless card and (since I was connected via ethernet cable) downloaded the necessary drivers and firmware as soon as I checked the right boxes and clicked "OK". Pretty snazzy, eh?!
