Downloading Ubuntu

[Paul]

Charles,

1. Backup whatever info/photos/data/music you wish to save.

2. Install Ubuntu (I would repartition, I mean really, who needs windows?)

3. Ponder how you made it this far without Ubuntu.

4. Live happily ever after, and join the Ubuntu project.

Hope this helps :)

Paul
