Anything I need to know (i.e. installing wireless drivers, xorg, stuff like that) that anyone wouldn't mind sharing?

lots of possibility for tweakage.
Shape it to fit your needs.
That said, it is a all in one make life easy install.
Several different desktop environment options.
I see around 255 mb of ram in use at boot with x64 my self. About the same for x32 i686 to.
laptop or netbooks.
use
powertop and pm-utils to get them advanced power features.

all that will be decided on install. by default it picks USA as main language and keyboard layout.
Any apps ya don't want for what ever reason, just remove them via synaptic.
One thing I would suggest if your using recent hardware. Update to 2.6.38.4 kernel.
Pre patched headers and package can be found here.
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38.4-natty/
Use this tutorial for updated video drivers compatible with 2.6.38 kernels here.

There are new linux-firmware packages available via update.

I was reffering to codecs. Like are there any codecs I may install that are illegal or anything? Not like it really matters but I want to know if I am doing something I shouldn't

Sounds like a Microsoft anti Linux propaganda article there.

Ultamatix is a 3rd part source.
The codecs in question are NOT pre installed and would need to be installed via Ultamatix.
I my self have never even noticed them, little less installed them.
So your fine, thanks for pointing them out.
