There is good amount of information available at Partitioning Windows and Ubuntu.
But I choose to shrink the Windows partition and selected use the free space option provided by Ubuntu installer.
Setting up internet connection.
I have DSL cable modem(ADSL) connected using ethernet cable. Followed the instructions at Ubuntu forums ADSLPPPoE Make sure that all the lights on the modem are on before you run the pppoeconf. Once this is done check if repositories are enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list otherwise you may not be able to install packages using apt-get.
Enabling restricted drivers.
ATI drivers provide better visual effect than the driver that is supplied with Ubuntu installation. These drivers can be enabled using restricted driver manager from System -> Administration. For detailed steps and alternative ways of doing it refer to Ubuntu Gutsy Installation Guide
