Hi,
Ive just gotten a new laptop. I was wondering what are the things you should do first ideally. I wont be able to open the box till next week so im hoping to learn a little before i do. I know there are things you can do to make them run faster etc.

Im thinking of partitioning my harddrive also and running Ubuntu on the second part of it. This laptop will be mainly used for entertainment and possibly for Engineering applications... autocad, inventor etc...
Any advice would be much appreciated. Also if you just know a good site where this stuff is already covered that will do.

THANKS
