[Haskell-cafe] getting set up in ubuntu

I finally ditched sabayon for ubuntu (one wireless problem too many), and now I'm slowly getting stuff set up on it. Any Ubuntu people care to share their experiences? I'm especially looking for guidelines on what to install via apt-get and what to install independently. Also, while I'm making Major Life Changes I might as well check out xmonad :) If anyone has made the switch from fluxbox, do share how it went. martin
