The following are instructions for my hardware setup specifically, if you have hardware that deviates, some of the steps (ie sound card names, etc) may vary for you. (Upgrade process: 1 kernel 2 nvidia 3 alsa 4 v41)

2. Upgrade Ubuntu to latest
+
−
sudo apt-get update

−
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+
−
 
+
−
At this point I also associate the graphics adapter to the nvidia driver as well (Hardware Drivers program in KDE).
+
−
 
+
−
I prefer using htop to view system stats:
+
−
sudo apt-get install htop
+
−
 
+
−
After this I reboot.
+

+
−
3. Install OpenSSH for remote command line administration
+

−
 
+
−
4. Install FreeNX for secure remote GUI administration from ubuntu help site: help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
