Ubuntu is available in 2 versions, in this discussion, for x86 processor
PC's !
See here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
1) The normal Desktop version !
2) Alternate version if the normal one may fail !!
How to find out ???
In the link given here above one finds a BIG green download button !
Below this button is an additional line: Check and read the given links
to find out more,
and of course, BEFORE downloading !!
It's too a personal flavour how one wants to install: GUI or text !?
It also depends on ones experience ...
... so it is very individual !
Good luck and cheers, svobi
