On a netbook I would go solely ubuntu - windows is only useful for games these days - and games on a netbook ain't happening.
So boot from ubuntu usb and wipe windows during ubuntu install.
If you must dual boot (you'll get tired of it);
- resize windows partition from windows to make some free space then install ubuntu into free space once you have done that ubuntu install will setup the dual boot automatically - just select the appropriate option when it comes to setting up the hard drive partitions during the install
go just Ubuntu - you will not regret it

Connect to the Internet over wired network and make sure everything is updated then type these three commands in a terminal (it will prompt for your password):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:matt-price/mattprice
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8192-dkms
This adds the repository mentioned here
https://launchpad.net/~matt-price/+archive/mattprice
and installs a driver for your wifi

christ no it is easy:
Use the GUI programs
Ubuntu Software Centre or
System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager to browse and install software
Or if you want to go terminal use these commands
>sudo apt-cache search something-you-want
>sudo apt-get install app-package-name

install inkscape and dependencies first:
>sudo apt-get install inkscape python-gtk2 python-serial librsvg2-common
then download and run the command :
>tar -xzvf Downloads/InkCut-1.0.tar.gz -C .config/inkscape/extensions/
(assuming you downloaded to directory Downloads)
Then run Inkscape - Inkcut is a plugin for Inkscape.
