@Spoinkfawk the windows machine and linux are virtually identical after login in terms of speed they both take like 3 or 4 seconds.

Note:
In most cases the “:” signifies a separation between the left and right and can only be used once, where as a comma represents a list of items that will follow in orderly fashion in this case the button layout. REMEMBER never mess around with the first column.

Go to “Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor”
Select “Apps > Metacity > General”
Click were it says “minimize,maximize,close:” next to “button_layout” on the second column. Apply your customizable preferences.

By default the buttons in Ubuntu 10.04 are placed on the left hand side rather than the right hand side as previous versions. If you are not happy with this look, you can modify it. The current set up is as followed:
minimize,maximize,close:
And it does not provide a visible “menu” option. You can change that by changing the set up as followed:
menu:minimize,maximize,close
