Ubuntu 9.04 - Successful Boot

The first time that I booted into Ubuntu 9.04, I updated all of the packages that were just installed by following the procedure below:

1. Left-click "Applications" > "Accessories" > left-click "Terminal": This will open a new terminal window.
2. At the terminal prompt, type the following and then press enter: sudo apt-get update

After all of the packages were updated on my machine, I was surprised that all of my hardware seems to be functioning properly - even my wireless card! Below is a list of the hardware in my computer, this information can be discovered my typing the following command at the terminal prompt: lspci
