Unboxing My Dell Inspiron with Ubuntu

Last Wednesday, the FedEx guy arrived with my new Dell Inspiron 530 desktop. Still in my pajamas, I rushed to the door to greet him, gave him a quick "thank-you", and rushed back up the stairs to begin unboxing.

I spread out the CPU, LCD widescreen monitor, mouse, and keyboard on the living room floor. From there, I transferred all of the items to the office, and timed the set-up process: a quick 5 minutes and 49 seconds (Sorry Kyle's wife!) from plugging in to powering up to surfing PCMag.com. After I got the Internet working, I decided to be brave and install our F5D7000 Belkin Wireless G Card all by myself!

After installing the card, however, I was at a loss. I didn't know what to do at that point. The wireless connection wasn't working for some reason. So, I waited that day until my boyfriend, Eric came home from work.
