As for specific support, I'd try the <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/" rel="nofollow">ubuntu forums</a>, which are excellent, and there are loads of good HOWTO docs out there about ubuntu and almost any common thing you'd want to do, including step by step walkthroughs. I'd start by doing a Google search for "HOWTO ubuntu " + whatever you're looking for. Substitute "dapper" for "ubuntu" if you're using the latest stable release for more specific info.

I have installed UBUNTU and have ordered KUBUNTU. I dont know how to install the driver for my ati radeon 9600xt. Actually i dont know if i am meant to be downloading and installing XFREE86 or the XORG version of the driver. I am downloading them both but i dont know how to do anything in Linux really. I dont know where I am meant to set up my modem or set up a net account. (no INETWIZ.EXE) So yeah, can someone help me out with getting my ATI driver installed? and does anyone know of a good long PDF file i can read and wrap my brain around. I'm still a Windows user, but I want to use Linux as much as possible. Thanks. :) heyas all.

Ha ha. BTW, it was for renaming our Lost blog to underwaterhatch.com, which will end up making us a killing in ad revenue once they reveal it on the show (even though it's completely theoretical at this point). Then we'll see who's laughing (or giggling)! Not a “user name”, a domain name! Ha ha.
