I tried several ways to go about dealing with a new system. I luckily ran into a book at the library that got me and ubuntu up and running. It hasn't always been without...

Sounds like you're fairly knowledgeable so this might be too simple.

I'd suggest using Ubuntu version 10.04 rather than 12.04.

10.04 has been out awhile and a lot of the bugs have been worked out or are at least manageable. 12.04 is new and it has a ways to go...
