To Whom it may concern:

I had a friend recommend that I go to http://www.ubuntu.com and upgrade my desktop computer from Window XP to Linux OS.  I went to the website and it tells me to download an iso called ubuntu and make a bootable CD from the iso.  I read the information on the website, however, I have not been able to find anything that mentions the Linux OS.  Can someone please respond and let me know if this is in fact Linux and if I do install it on my system will it wipe out my old operating system or will I be able to uninstall it if it turns out to be not for me.  Also, I have a lot of files on my computer, am I going to have to back them up to DVD before installing the above mentioned OS and will this OS have the drivers I will need for the hardware on my computer?  Thank you for your time and I am looking forward to hearing back from someone regarding this matter.

Respectfully,

Rev. Jason Jay White
