of ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 beta , dunno which yet , suggestions as to what th install first on my clean os , what to avoid , please write generally and simply so we can refer newbies to this thread later.

I already have a good idea as to what i will add but its good to have a list for reference.

PinGUY seems to excel in the area of ubuntu , what do you think PinGUY ?

I wouldn't install 8.04 yet, I got it installed and its still a bit buggy, remember you can always just update from 7.10 to 8.04 when its realised.

I have got an how-to on my site for a fresh install of Ubuntu plus some links to other sites with how-to's.

i was going to just update but i also wanted to take a look at the beta , no dice tho , the live cd beta does not boot on my thinkpad r60 , freezes

also , where is Firefox kept in an ubuntu install , i want to throw my entire Firefox onto my home partition and keep it there while i upgrade so i don't lose it and i dont want to spend 15 mins looking for it if someone knows where it is.

Firefox profile folder (.mozilla) is in your home folder, just Ctrl+H to see hidden folders, all your programs settings are stored there.

How do you regulate the speed of your fans in Ubuntu? I just stumbled upon a page that showed me how to activate my temperature sensors, but I've no idea how to control the fans.

Nevermind, found it:
