Currently I'm using Xubuntu as my default desktop. I didn't buy into the whole Unity interface and I find it much better on my netbook.
I found myself without a graphical option to set up dual monitor. So, I had to setup dual monitor from the command line. it really easy.
Type xrandr in the terminal

Now, if you want this setup every time you start you computer is just a matter of adding the command to the startup application menu
