There have been some problems with the proprietary nvidia driver, to make it work you should install the following
sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates
Recommended applications
Dropbox - It is a cloud storage with 2GB free space. NOTE: It is recommended to install Dropbox through the ubuntu software center to avoid the "connecting..."-bug
Skype - Allows the user to make voice and video calls and chat over the internet.
Desura - a linux alternative to the windows based Steam client. (It is worth mentioning even though we might see a Linux steam client this year)
DVD codecs
This should work out of the box with VLC (sudo apt-get install vlc), if is doesn't then use the following code:
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get -q update
sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring
sudo apt-get -q update
For 32-bit
sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2
For 64-bit
sudo apt-get install w64codecs libdvdcss2

What do I do if my ubuntu can't find the display driver for my netbook?
I have a Lenovo s10-3
Open the terminal and write: lspci | grep VGA
You should see a Intel card on the list.
The driver was automatically installed. So no setup needed.
