What did you do with your AOL discs as a kid? It's the same deal here.

If you decide you like both, you could set your computer up to dual-boot. If you only like windows, then either give the disc to friend or use it as a frisbee. Simple.

Also, the amount of bais towards operating systems in this thread(from both camps) is surprising even by internet standards.

Make a hard drive partition.

Oh no it isn't.

I thought about switching to Linux ages ago but I ended up deciding against it because I'd actually like to use programs without having to boot them through Wine and only have them work half the time anyway.

Dual-boot your PC. It's wonderful. I have Windows for Flash and porn and then Linux for programming and school work.

Whoops, I forgot what internet standards were.

dual boot is good, but I've found i use windows more often coz I'm more used to it. ubuntu is quite differenet and you should only really install it if you have the time and are up to spending a few days getting to know it well

RocketFetus · August 08, 2008, 07:58:47 AM

Dual boot it. Partition space on your harddrive or an external harddrive (with enough space) and then install it on the partition.

INSTRUCTIONS:siren:

Since it's your first time using Ubuntu I presume put the cd in while windows is on. Then it allows you to install ubuntu on windows. And it just saves your files on the same hard drive as windows. But it looks the same as dual booting. And if you ever want to get rid of it. Just go to add/remove programs and uninstall ubuntu
