The new version is free to use as usual but has also been tweaked with certain new features like the online search, amazon search, dash preview, excellent booting time, new wallpapers etc.
I assume you are done installing the new Ubuntu 12.10 on your system, if you are dual booting it with Windows then you might like to read [How To] dual boot Linux Ubuntu 12.10 with Windows 7.
Now lets proceed with the qualitative things you should do immediately after you install Ubuntu 12.10. If you are still using Ubuntu 12.04, you can also see things to do after installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Check For Updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Install Media Codecs
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Install Additional Drivers
Now you won't find Additional Drivers option in the dash. Since the new version you will get the additional drivers option integrated with the software sources. Open the dash and search for "Software Sources" and head towards the last button that says "Additional Drivers" and this will show you all the driver's which are required to be installed.
