My Perfect Precise Pangolin Ubuntu 12.04 Installation

Ok, so currently, the title of this article is optimistic.  I typically try to document everything that I do to install and configure my laptop in a document so that I can repeat the process when I reinstall the next version of Linux.  This is my first attempt at keeping that online for others to benefit from as well.  I hope this does indeed turn into a perfect installation/configuration.
