The most popular dock is Avant Window Navigator and by "the box" I think you mean the cube plugin for Compiz-fusion.

Also it will be useful to know that you can install new applications by going to System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager and searching for the application you want.

You should be able to go to System - Administration - Hardware Drivers and enable the nvidia driver.

... and after you get your video driver working, you'll need to use Compiz to get 'The Cube'. Go to System, Preferences, and Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, which will bring up the CompizConfig Settings Manager. Go under Desktop and you'll see an option for the Cube.

To get advanced desktop effects settings you have to install the compizconfig-settings-manager first though. It should all be explained on the FAQ sticky. :)
