| All of the useful and differentiating features that make PA worthwhile are only accessible to end users through those utilities. |
That's about right...  |

You don't need an antivirus, and iptables is enough for a firewall, this is Linux remember... 
But if your in the mood, use ClamAV :-

And Firestarter is decent enough :-

Just remember if there is anything you need, you can usually find it in Applications/Add/Remove then 'Show' all apps, and search. Don't be afraid to have a good rummage around the desktop, and Google is your friend.

Well, I've been pretty busy the last couple weeks with looking, and finding a new job (start tomorrow...  ), but I finnally got around to messing aroung with Hardy and my SATA issues.
After messing around, I ended up switching from the Nvidia Raid ports, to the Silicon ports, and it's working like a charm!!! So I'm happy about that. I'm having issues with sound. I installed ubuntu with my onboard sound disabled (I have a Fatality Extreme Gamer sound card). Obviously that card doesn't work with Ubuntu. I switched the onboard back on, and can't seem to get it to work.
Any suggestions? Is there an equivalent to device manager in Ubuntu, that I could somehow troubleshoot the sound issue?

Weird, PA is working great in Fedora 8... It's quite nice actually. The only minor drawback I've found is that if it crashes (which is a rare thing), the daemon doesn't restart "automagically". |

Aha, doesn't Ubuntu look much nicer when you change the default fonts...
I'm quite a fan of Lucida Grande at the moment... |

Greetings!
Will have to try it.
Do you use any application to control the monitor gamma? |

If you want to try the font pack (Lucida Grande is the OS X font) follow this guide (obviously I prefer not to skin the whole thing to OS X, I just like the fonts...):-
http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11
As for gamma control, I'd just use the nvidia settings (If they are not installed, just 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings', or for ATI cards 'sudo apt-get install fglrx-control) |
