First impressions and talking to the network

At last, Xubuntu is up and running. First impressions are that it looks great, from the new dark theme to the blue wallpaper, which seems a slight nod to some Ubuntu wallpapers I've seen, and seems a little faster than 9.04 was. Most importantly, all the software I'd want seems to be here: Firefox for web browsing, Pidgin for communicating, and AbiWord for word processing being the three that I'm most likely to use with any regularity.

There are a number of set-up steps and tweaks I want to go through now, first of which will be getting connected to my home network. The other computers on this network are running Windows XP, so I hope Xubuntu will be able to talk to them as I'd want it to! No idea how easy this is going to be....
