[LinuxUsers] Advice

[Jason]

I have a 15 inch acer that I'm going to put Linux on. I have the  
ubuntu 9.04 distro. Should I just allow it to run through a standard  
setup or are there settings that I should be looking for?  Also  
opinions should I install the desktop distro or the netbook?  I'm  
finally fed up with vista and xp that I want to seriously use Linux.

Thanks
Jason

Ps when's the next meeting?  Now that I have a car again I can attend
