Things to do when installing Ubuntu on Lenovo T61p with Nvidia graphic card

Just found out that for some weird reason that after installation my Ubuntu does not use my swap partition. With some detection, i found out that the /etc/fstab is using a partition with the wrong UUID as the swap partition and therefore the system does not enable swap. so I think I'll have to make a reminder list of things to do after installing Ubuntu:

Things to do after installing Ubuntu on Lenovo T61p with Discrete graphic card:

1. Install Nvidia graphic card
2. setup program update source and update software
3. edit /etc/fstab and enter all other partitions into designated folders
4. edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to include other OS if there is any
5. set ~/Downloads folder as the default firefox downloads folder
6. enable/download Compiz fusion and setup conpiz fusion
7. download and install Kiba-Dock
8. download the latest JDK and install into /usr/lib/jvm
9. using update manager to get latest Java
10. download the latest version of Eclipse and NetBeans and install them into /usr/lib; create a link in /usr/bin to those executables; edit /usr/share/Applications to include those programs as application in category development
11. install latest Apache into /usr/lib and setup Apache
12. install administration applications: boot manager, firestarter, partition editor
