Installing Ubuntu on a machine with Windows on it - dual boot?

[Kai Presler-Marshall]

TBH I'd just install Ubuntu.  I put Xubuntu on a PentM Thinkpad I have, and
I must say that XFCE is very irritating to use when compared to GNOME.  Not
unusable, but GNOME isn't really much slower, and is far more fully-featured
:)

I run Ubuntu on 2 systems and Xubuntu on another, and vastly prefer Ubuntu
