The foray into Ubuntu hit a snag when, due to a combined effort of stupidity and lack of sleep, I managed to break Ubuntu. My brother-in-law tried to fix it with no avail, and so I re-loaded Ubuntu and started over. The sadness is that several of my school assignments I recently worked on became lost in the ether forever.
This second time, I am enjoying it much better. I've managed to actually find the Synaptic Package Manager without breaking said application, and now I'm looking forward to downloading tons of free copycat software. Also, I've managed to find my old desktop of witch cosplaying, guitar toting Nagato, and started fiddling with Firefox's themes as well as Ubuntu's.
Ah, Firefox. I've had a very bad relationship with Firefox, but since my old browser (Flock) I can't seem to get to work on Ubuntu, I'm making peace with Firefox for now. So far, it hasn't done anything evil to me yet, except give me a lot of trouble in downloading and installing Flash plug-ins. For now, an uneasy truce exists between me and Mozilla.
For now.

Flash: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
If your thought process includes the word "install" think "synaptic"
(Or "aptitude" at the command line.)
