Which version of Ubuntu Linux?

[Andrew Morris]

Hi Steve,

thanks for the tip below.

However, I now have a problem similar to that described in comments # 68. 69
& 97 on

http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first
i.e. On my Vista laptop I downloaded the recommended Ubuntu 7.10 from the
recommended site, burnt it onto a CD (using Imgburn as suggested in comment
99), then, after setting BIOS boot top priority to "IDE CD: etc.", I tried
to boot Ubuntu from CD. But the "Press any key to boot from CD" option
(which comes up when booting with the Vista installation CD in place) does
not appear, and the system boots Vista. I already tried before writing a CD
using Windows Media Center" and with Nero. Have you any clues about what I
am still doing wrong? In Imgburn I selected burn option "Data CD" (not "BD")
and "burn to the disk directly..." (not "burn using Windows Media Player").
Is it possible that with my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505 it is simply not
possible to load Ununtu?
