xD I was about to be like "Oh yeah I know some really good ones and some other stuff you should get with Ubuntu!" then I read Kain's post. Pretty much everything there xD If you want to do Gaming, PlayOnLinux lets you run steam games and stuff

Good luck with Ubuntu! I love it, and don't worry after a while you get used to the speeds because you can do other stuff while one thing loads because of it's epic multitasking abilities.
