I generally don’t jump on the meme bandwagon but I thought this one might be of interest to some of you.  My old co-worker, " href="http://sexysexypenguins.com/2008/11/05/meme-first-thing-i-do-after-installing-insert-fedora/">Clint Savage, jumped on a meme regarding “What’s the first thing you do after installing <distro>?”

I’d be very interested in what my reader-base does after first installing Ubuntu.  Perhaps you’ll discuss it in the Ubuntu Tutorials Forum?

In any case, this is the first command I run after installing Ubuntu:

sudo aptitude install htop nautilus-open-terminal ubuntu-restricted-extras vim-full gnome-do gnome-do-plugins

Did I miss anything?
