I don't use ubuntu: do they package an ATI driver and install it by default?

I'm not sure about ATI driver, but the nvidia driver is installed by default (as a package), but you need to point (restricted driver) and click and type your sudo password to enable it.
I have always installed NVIDIA proprietary 3D driver and they have given me no trouble at all. It also enables compiz (desktop effects).
Intel integrated is good, too, with good (and even better, open source) drivers from Intel, except if you really need the performance.
It's still nice to be able to prevent people from looking at your screen when you're away from your desk... (Just turning it off doesn't work because they can turn it back on)
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
windows key + L
locks teh station, including the display, althoug screen savers that do so automagically are still useful in case you forget and walk away from your station.
I believe the default shortcut for that on Ubuntu is Ctrl+Alt+L - I love the "leave a message" feature.
Touch the mouse or the keyboard and the screensaver is gone... unless you take them with you of course.

At work, I type ctrl+alt+del (which is about the fastest non-trivial thing I can type since using MS-DOS) and press enter, but it doesn't seem to work with all versions (flavors? configurations?) of Windows XP.

I've been using Ubuntu for about 3-4 years now, but the out-of-the-box functionality of Jaunty in almost all respects simply amazes meIf there is one flavor of linux that can give some tough competition to Windows, it is Ubuntu.

Never heard of a screensaver password?
Anyway, yes, on Windows you can lock the workstation. Not all Linux desktops have such a feature separately from just a normal screensaver.
My favorite is the IFS screensaver from the xscreensaver package.
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
Take the screensaver part away from the "screensaver password" feature, then you'll get a traditional locked workstation. Anyway, the screensaver serves no purpose.

I use Ubuntu. Not out of choice but the fact that it was the only distro that works on my computer. I would prefer Debian, but this is fine other than the new 2d accelerators don't work.
I just installed xscreensaver, but IFS (and several others) are not available. Is there a secondary package I need to install to get the rest?
What purpose does a game serve?
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
Hmm. Did you install binary or source? Maybe the binary distro has been trimmed.
I just downloaded the latest sourceball from here:
XScreenSaver: Download
And IFS is there...
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
The first time I saw a screensaver I'd taken a bunch of mushrooms at an Evergreen State College Phish show, and after ward we were wondering around the eerie dark Evergreen campus...my girlfriend noticed this fractal thing in one of the windows.
It was only fascinating for so long but I can still see the pink, orange, purple, green swirls in my mind's eye.
