In ubuntu most of the drivers should be there out of the box with the exception o f your wifi drivers

update-pciids
# lspci | egrep -i 'network|atheros|wireless'

Does the video work ok?

Thanks

Everything should work fine out of the box. If it appears to work, it is working. There are not buried land mines like Windows' lack of IDE DMA or anything like that. If you don't notice any problems, I would leave it alone.

Edit: Ignore the link above. Your WiFi is a Realtek, not Atheros
Edit #2: Oh, I just noticed you are running 9.04. You may have problems. Personally I would install 10.04.
