   Usually you can just load the Ubuntu LiveCD and click “Install”, and it will automatically handle everything. When it asks you how to format your hard disk, choose the first option. Always back up your data first.

   Here is a complete tutorial:

   People will always tell you to install/get Ubuntu,, Ubuntu is not the best of Linux you need to use a community distribution they work out of the box (install all drivers) ubuntu don’t.

   best linux are
   Linux Mint
   Sabayon
   PCLinuxOS

   Get them from here
   http://www.distrowatch

   now for installing Linux on a windows computer there are two ways to do this,

   (1) Dual Boot if you want a dual boot system then when installing Linux make sure you click on run side by side if you don’t it will wipe windows off,

   (2) virtual Machine. which is better, you can run all the operating systems together,

   download VirtualBox from here read the install manual

   Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
   http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi

   I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

   Linux Mint has a similar installer called mint4win (mint4win works the same as Wubi so the instructions outlined above are almost identical)

   You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.

   mint4win keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

   Boot in to windows insert the Linux Mint LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the mint4win installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.

   Once Linux Mint is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint

   You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

   Linux Mint 9 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
