Grandma Linda,
Look at the big fuss you and your Brother PE-700II (USB) embroidery
machine that uses the Pe-Design Ver. 5 or Ver. 6 software that
unfortunately only run on Windows (preferably XP) created.
Either Wine can deal with this software (a big if) or you will have to
do your homework about virtualization (Mario explained it all) and
install VBox (V2.1 from Synaptics - be sure!) and get a Desktop as nice
as mine.
I can assure you that it is not so difficult (providing your hardware
specs are just adequate).
After all this struggle, please do not reject Linux in favor of the
other OS just because of Pe-Design.
Keep giving Ubuntu a chance, you'll find out that it is worth.
(almost) Grandpa Lucio
