    aznron911: Best thing I can say is go to Ubuntu's website and start reading. If you download the ISO, it works as both a LiveCD (just start your computer with the CD in the drive) and as an install CD if you decide you like it and it works well on your computer. There are many guides on the Ubuntu website as well. Great community. Good luck :)

    Yeh, Its actually pretty to ez if you dont' want to install it permantantly. All you do is make an iso cd, and pop it in and it does the rest. But how do you really install it is my questions now. Ubuntu is Linux pretty much with other programs thrown in.

    The Ubuntu wiki is a really good place to start. Loaded with info.
