New Ubuntu and my laptop compability

[matas]

Looking for go from Vista to Ubuntu 9.04 I believe, the newest one. I have an Asus S96J laptop. Do I need specific drivers for ubuntu for like the webcam or the sound card?

Generally speaking you don't grab and compile the drivers from source. It should have everything you need to keep your hardware working.

Ubuntu 9.10 comes out tomorrow - wait for that.

I have been trying out the Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix version on my Dell laptop,quite impressed with it to be honest,screenshots can be found here http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_910_netbook&num=1 .

Try the LiveCD to see if you like it,you can play with sounds, browse the web etc even from CD without installing it to your HD.
