You're best bet will be to use the Synaptic Package Manager in Ubuntu for all these things. If there aren't official Linux drivers, or they're just ridiculously hard to use (like Intel's graphics drivers) there may be a package someone else has cooked up that will work.

Most sites will assume if you want Linux drivers that you're a Linux guru, so they'll give you some compressed file that has the drivers in it and you need to know how to install them ... that's why I suggest looking through the package manager. There are lots of people out there that hate doing that and would rather have binaries that "install", then doing a bunch of command line work.

I never said Adobe products work. I said you might need to use wine emulation to get them to work. This isn't an easy task, but there are alternatives for PDF viewing, for example.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look at the package manager when I have Ubuntu installed.
