So far I'm liking it a lot. Most of what I do is web-based nowadays, so my primary OS is probably gonna become Ubuntu.

I've used Linux several years again, and man, it has come a long way. Ubuntu automatically recognized my display, cd/dvd writer and even my wifi! I could never get wifi working. I'm very very happy so far.

So, What are some of the necessary Ubuntu stuff (and some cool eyecandy stuff too)?

If you want eye candy you should theme your desktop.
I have found a good resource for doing that here on the Ubuntu forums.
As for needed Ubuntu stuff I mean you have the drivers + internet so what else do you need now!

Which version are you running? If not the current one you should work on updating that. Is there anything that is not running now that you would like to work?
