There are many articles about this (such as
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ubuntu-gnome-unity-similarities/ )
Basically the newer Ubuntu makes gnome look and act pretty much the same as
unity was.
Give it a try and you may be pleasantly surprised

An iso file is actually a DVD/CD image rather than a disk image and so
can't be directly written to a disk via dd.
Instead use something like 'usb-creator' to take the iso image and put it
on the disk in the right layout etc.

We generally tell them we are running linux (or solaris).
I was quite surprised one time when one of them even knew what linux was!!
(most just don't understand at all)
For a period of time we were getting on average 5 calls a week - we still
get the occasional but only 1 a week or so.

You might have some luck by turning on the machine with the lid closed.
My laptop will automatically send bootup output to the external
display if the screen is closed so it may work for you as well.

Maybe try going to the Keyboard properties menu item (under 'Settings'

(or that there even is one)

The other option is to load up nautilus and then right-click on a
folder and choose "Open with other Applications"
Then find/select "File Browser" and make sure that that the "Remember
this appication" checkbox is selected.

No extra drivers/changes to xorg should be needed - intel graphics
should work 'out-of-the-box'. In fact you can probably just remove
/etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have created one.
Since you are asking this I'm guessing that Xorg did not load up
properly - what did come up when you booted?

Yes - you would see a reference to nvidia if you had a nvidia graphics card.
The output shows that you have an onboard intel grapihcs card.
The G31 should be good enough for web/work/video stuff - but may be a

in the same place.
