I'll be single booting since I have several other machines. So I'm not
worried about screwing up and trying over
As to my exposure/experience with Linux I'm a novice. Dave exposed me
to it years ago but I only dabbled with it.

Are you planning to dual-boot or install Linux only? How familiar
are you
with Linux (i don't remember from any previous posts, sorry)? If not
accustomed to Linux-only, and not planning to dual-boot, it can be a
good
idea to run Linux from one of Live-CD/USB or WUBI-install, until
used to it.
I have the ubuntu 9.04 distro. Should I just allow it to run through
a standard setup or are there settings that I should be looking for?
We always do manual partitioning (even though that may be the
hardest part
of install process) - at a minimum separate partitions for / (system)
and /home (data).
We also routinely add the OpenOffice PPA repository to the Software
Sources,
so we get the newest OpenOffice through the Package Manager.
(Well, we also get rid of libmono and install gThumb.)
Also opinions should I install the desktop distro or the netbook?
My recommendation is to try LiveCD or LiveUSB of both and see which
you
like better.
