My alt+F2 app is screwed and I can't find compiz. How do I start it? (Don't think I'm an idiot just haven't used it and my computer is more than a little screwed up.)

ccsm (or compizconfig-settings-manager) isn't installed by default in Natty (11.04).
To install it, run the following from a terminal
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Once's that's done, it's ccsm from a terminal and CompizConfig Settings Manager in the menu (System → Preferences if you're not using Unity yet)
Once installed you can do Alt-F2 and type about:config to launch ccsm in unity mode, helps if you're used to that muscle memory for Firefox.
Under Unity (once ccsm is installed) you can find it by clicking on the shut-down button top-right, and selecting System Settings from the menu that drops down. (The location seems counterintuitive at first but I've found it pretty convenient now that I'm used to it.)
