What version are you using? Do you want "unity" the new netbook interface. (Will not lose anything will have choice of both
desktop and unity at login screen:
#Open a terminal:

sudo apt-get install unity#Check for what you need by"
aptitude show "package name"
example:

aptitude show unityor

aptitude show ubuntu-netbook#If have not got aptitude installed:

sudo apt-get install aptitude#Also good for upgrading in safe fashion:

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade#Google aptitude in Ubuntu if you want to read more is a nice tool:
