Yes. I need to. But actually, I am a novice in using
any GNU/Linux. I am slowly finding out material over
the internet, for configuring different things to use
GNU/Linux. I still have a long way to actually *brush*
up linux skills, rather, I am supposed to learn first.

I had a few pointers to this.

In my post, I mentioned ubuntu working with DLP
Projector, which is different from a normal LCD
Projector. Ubuntu started detecting hardware and it
displayed "RNG: not detected". I am trying to find out
what RNG is.
