Also are there any 'must have' apps for Ubuntu.
And any good online guides for driver installation and config editting

Yeah I haven't had a single problem and it runs smooth as butter.
Windows 7 is more efficient with resource use but I don't like what they're doing with the task bar...

If you want to turn off the UAC (are you sure you want to do that dave prompt)
Open security center..
Click on other security settings
Turn off user account control.
You are welcome.

Re: Ubuntu: Anyone running dual video card and monitors
I have aero running, probably 30 google chrome tabs open, listening to music, Pidgin IM running, and GTA2 running in the background. It's using a gig of ram on my 500 dollar laptop and running smooth as butter on a 30 dollar 2g stick. Ram is cheap, buy a ---- ton.

Using two separate Video cards is the shittier way for running two monitors IIRC. Do you want it to be extended desktop? ie one desktop split on two screens?
