Download wubi. Its a free application that downloads the full version of ubuntu onto windows . It partitions your hard drive for you so there is no need to do it yourself. When you boot up you pc you are given the choice to boot into windows or ubuntu. Check it out, i just installed it yesterday and im using linux now.
hi, maybe someone could answer me why ubuntu is used more than kubuntu when kubuntu has such a more friendly feel moving from windows?, I tried ubuntu and I much prefer the "classic" feel of kubuntu . . all replys to this comment really appreciated thank you in advanced.
very nice video. The best I've seen so far about Ubuntu. Most videos play music and don't explain anything. How do you like Ubuntu? I am thinking of putting it on my older computer.
Besonix, you must be slightly impaired... Linux has VERY little in common with windows... you see, Linux is stable, Windows is not. I have both systems (Vista, and Ubuntu) on seperate machines. Vista is much better than previous versions, at least in my experience (have less errors) but Linux is much less power hungry and the interface is much more aesthetically pleasing. Also, security and reliability in ANY version of windows is training far behind Linux.

Oh common stop presenting this cheap copy of Windows.I tried Linux for so many times and it doesnt even come close to Windows.Face it...Vista closed the mouths of everyone that seen it in action for the first time.During XP i believe a Linux sometime in the future might be as good as Windows.Now seeing Vista: NO WAY!
About the partition, Well you may do something like this:
Separe at least 5 GB on Ext3, recommended is 10 GB if you are going to install software and some stuff.
After this, make a Swap partition, you have to do it depending the RAM you have, if you have 512 mb, then make it of 1 GB, the double of the RAM on your pc.
Assing the / directory to the Ext3 partition you made, and let the Swap alone.
New to Linux?, try read forums about Ubuntu, too much help.
I don't understand how to install aplications on linux. If I have the files from "wine" and I need to install it on the computer, what do I have to do to install it? Cuz it's a bit wired when you can't just open an exe file or something thats compile everything for you.
hey men i am new in this program can you tell where i can lear more but in spanish version? i Know english but i am from peru so a prefer to read in spanish
wow i ordered ubuntu for free off the site and making the siwtch from vista ultimate to this, ubuntu looks Way better than vista and dosent make me want to drill holes in my mobo. im just pissed off i payed for vista
You can do all That stuff And No crash? My new Windows xp computer freezes all the time! (it has 2gb of ram, and all the virus protection) So bad that I have to Reset the Computer. It does it with simple things like Making a video with pictures, or even using Window Media Player. If I run 2 applications like sony and Movie Maker it freezes. It seems with linux you can do all those multitasking things and no freezing right?
HI can someone help me? I already install ubuntu on another computer, but I dont have any sound, it says that nothing is detected, ican still use my cd ports, but I belive that my usb port do not work now, and i dont have internet, i dunno why, do i need to install some drivers or something else?
Wow, I don't know what's up with the people below commenting on your video, mate! I guess it's true bad things happen to good people... or... bad comments to good videos? heh.
Thanks for taking the time to make and upload this. Truly it'll help to show/prove people that it is a _full-featured_ OS of it's own. I kind of laugh at the Microsoft product comparisons, but hey, gotta make in-roads somewhere, right? :)
There is a great project for those who dont know about it named 'Wine', it allows you to run many windows applications on Linux.
You can even use it to run some versions of Photoshop and World of warcraft.
i think when Wine evolves more and is integrated with Ubuntu we will finally have a true alternative to windows (and a superior one for that matter) ;)

so it looks like vista but has the nerve to say linux in the green line?u know ,linux is a kid, when mac and pc are talking , linux stay out of it and ur a dumb-ass mother fucking piece of shit that got did in the mouth by a guy
ut came out befor Vista... and pernanly i think that linux is better than any os you can get because of the fredom of choice... it run's anthing from an ip to a super computer ( even a 286 for crist sake and it still runs faster than windows / mac)
open office takes less space its free and its better then microsoft office. trust me. i have microsoft 2007 and open office and open office is better.
I would have to say I enjoy Ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu because I want to get into programing and from what I understand Linux is a much better platform for it. I still use Windows XP because I have been using Windows since 95 ed. and know my way around it. I am having some problems with my Philips stereo USB connection on Ubuntu (not working in Firefox). I partitioned my drive to run both Ubuntu and Windows. Now if I could get my games to run then I would never use Windows lol.
Thanks a bunch for posting this Joseph.After ten years of using Windows versions 95, 98, and XP and becoming very frustrated with them, I took the plunge last September and installed Ubuntu V.7.10. I too am "Windows Free" as you state. Ubuntu-Linux is the best, and for the life of me I can't understand why the whole world is not with the Ubuntu "program". Just sign me, Linux lover....
ofcourse... why not... just as standalone both or you can run in from your favorite main OS with software like virtual box (freeware). It's pretty neat but still some errors are appearing.
yes. but i tried and it got rid of vista. but thats been a good thing. ditch windows. if not, just install a virtualbox, or get something called wubi (takes a while but worth it), and install ubuntu like that. it runs like an application, but you can use it from start-up
Try using Wubi, it takes care of the booting process for you and allows a full install of Unbuntu, just be careful that if your windows gets reinstalled you loose your Ubuntu as well.
can some of you do a little test for me? try to open, let's say, 5 youtube videos (in tabs) in your favorite browser in ubuntu. does it get slow? it slows my system down so much it made me switch to vista, right now i have 10+ videos opened + aero + dreamscene and everything runs smooth. i've tried a lot of linux distros even yoper, and still can't surf with more than few opened tabs no matter what browser or flash plugin i use. 3.5 ghz, 1gig ram it's a shame, i really liked ubuntu
so i hear all this buzz about ubuntu... but im wondering if it would be right for someone like me who is completely NOT computer savvy in the least... is it easy enough to use?
thanks for the quick response! im a little hesitant to change around my computer though (like i said, i'm not very knowledgable on the subject..) but i have vista and its very slow, so i might just give ubuntu a try.
ya u can run ubuntu as a live cd meaning u can try it with out haveing to install it note that it runs alot slower because its runing from your cd drive
you can dual boot and keep windows too.dual booting is when you have 2 operating systems installed in you PC.you will find how to dual boot from the internet or from some magazines
yeah ive heard about that... but is that completely safe for the computer? i only have one laptop that i depend on for everything and i'd be screwed if i messed it up...
it is safe only if you install windows first. otherwise it won't work cause windows installer doesn't like other OS's.And you should be very carefull with the options you choose when installing the second OS. The default is to overwrite everything. :) good luck.
i am new to linux and i installed ubuntu yesterday with a dual boot to windows and when i enable desktop effects everything goes white....would anyone happen to know how this can be solved?
Those beryl effects only work with certain video cards, such as NVidia. I tried the same thing you did with PCLinuxOS and got the very same thing (I'm currently running Ubuntu, though).
i know, i have an nvidia geforce 8600gt. i know i need a driver for it because i have to use my onboard chip. i dont know how to install a video card driver yet. could you tell me or do have a guide that could show me how?
Go into Synaptic, enter your password, click "Search", and type "nvidia geforce". Look through the descriptions of each result to see which one you need. That should do the trick.
Ubuntu looks good, but like you I also need to be able to run Music Recording software, which needs use of popular audio interfaces and their drivers.
If Linux can accomodate M-Audio, Presonus drivers and has music studio software ability, I'd for sure drop Windows in a heartbeat.
I still think LINUX and lack of software is MAJOR DRAWBACK. Is not like i haven't seen it myself. Software is sooooo limited, I know LINUX is steady etc.etc. that's for sure kick ss over Windows or OSX, but - world will choose it unless Windows and OSX is completly gone, otherwise no chance to dominate market.
You saying is free etc. don't you know everyboby use either torrent or have system with new computer.
That's a lame excuse. Virtually any commercial software (e.g., Word, Excel) is available as a free/open source alternative (e.g., OpenOffice). And, oftentimes, the open source alternative is much more feature-rich and stable; this is because of the inherent nature and vastly collaborative effort of the open-source community.
Linux is an excellent OS but the BIG BIG BIG BIG...and I do mean REALLY HUGE drawback is the fact the most of applications like MS Office and Photoshop and other software don't support Linux. Although there are so called "equivalent" replacements, no one in their right mind could compare the features and flexibility of Photoshop to GIMP. I have both installed on my Vista(God I hate this OS) but Photoshop is fast and complex while presenting a clear and simplified GUI.
It will only be so long until core platfrom software will be more available, alot of corporations use UNIX and Linux to write their programs, and believe me, wide market software like Photoshop, MS Office etc will be multi-platform.

Is not jsut gaming dude. You will miss future.
The only change I see in last 20 years over Linux is, they start copying other OSx, realeasing another laggy/buggy DISTRO, claiming this one - really has it all.
If you are serious to make money LINUX is NOT choice for you.
Besides few poorly written by some students FREEWARE/GNU weak projects that should be count as experimental tools.
What about games? 3D, DirectX, Force-ware, SLI ---- the WORLD STANDARDS!.
YOu are either too old to learn new shit, or have squared head. Well yeah, Linux will fit your needs - which are - check email, open website and story ends in your terminal, big hackers lol
I tried to install this on my g5 imac and i just cant believe im a mac fan boy but i just want to get rid of leopard is so fucking slow and i want this particular version but i dont know how to i did what the page says but that the bad point to linux nerds only i really want ubuntu feisty fawn but i cant...
i installed it from the net, and the cd was provided in a text document, after i uzipped all the files, thats when i get confused on what to do, if i install it without the provided cd it asks for the cd but if install it with the provided cd, it doesnt give me the option to start using ubuntu.
Thanks! That was a great review :)

No you can make partitions and a boot menu makes you choose between Windows and Linux.

Ubuntu works fast, even after months and you don't got viruses or spyware. All the software is free so no freeware stuff.

thanks for the quick response! im a little hesitant to change around my computer though (like i said, i'm not very knowledgable on the subject..) but i have vista and its very slow, so i might just give ubuntu a try.

yeah ive heard about that... but is that completely safe for the computer? i only have one laptop that i depend on for everything and i'd be screwed if i messed it up...
b0ssdK 4 years ago
well most times it is safe but backup your data for any case
parkourGreece 4 years ago
it is safe only if you install windows first. otherwise it won't work cause windows installer doesn't like other OS's.And you should be very carefull with the options you choose when installing the second OS. The default is to overwrite everything. :) good luck.

Is it possible to install MSN on Linux and other software that Windows OS supports?
trusttyler 4 years ago
yes, the software is called Wine. But ubuntu has its own IM client which supports most IMs, its called Pidgin

It's a shame that Linux can't play games like Windows can, I would switch right now. You could have dual boot but... uuuh...

i am new to linux and i installed ubuntu yesterday with a dual boot to windows and when i enable desktop effects everything goes white....would anyone happen to know how this can be solved?
ldavis8906 4 years ago
Those beryl effects only work with certain video cards, such as NVidia. I tried the same thing you did with PCLinuxOS and got the very same thing (I'm currently running Ubuntu, though).

do you know how to install an nvidia driver?
ldavis8906 4 years ago
First of all, you'll need an NVidia video card. This is a hardware issue, not a software issue.
fredbird67 4 years ago
i know, i have an nvidia geforce 8600gt. i know i need a driver for it because i have to use my onboard chip. i dont know how to install a video card driver yet. could you tell me or do have a guide that could show me how?
ldavis8906 4 years ago
Go into Synaptic, enter your password, click "Search", and type "nvidia geforce". Look through the descriptions of each result to see which one you need. That should do the trick.

Ubuntu looks good, but like you I also need to be able to run Music Recording software, which needs use of popular audio interfaces and their drivers.
If Linux can accomodate M-Audio, Presonus drivers and has music studio software ability, I'd for sure drop Windows in a heartbeat.

cymoncormier 4 years ago
I still think LINUX and lack of software is MAJOR DRAWBACK. Is not like i haven't seen it myself. Software is sooooo limited, I know LINUX is steady etc.etc. that's for sure kick ss over Windows or OSX, but - world will choose it unless Windows and OSX is completly gone, otherwise no chance to dominate market.
You saying is free etc. don't you know everyboby use either torrent or have system with new computer.

That's a lame excuse. Virtually any commercial software (e.g., Word, Excel) is available as a free/open source alternative (e.g., OpenOffice). And, oftentimes, the open source alternative is much more feature-rich and stable; this is because of the inherent nature and vastly collaborative effort of the open-source community.

Linux is an excellent OS but the BIG BIG BIG BIG...and I do mean REALLY HUGE drawback is the fact the most of applications like MS Office and Photoshop and other software don't support Linux. Although there are so called "equivalent" replacements, no one in their right mind could compare the features and flexibility of Photoshop to GIMP. I have both installed on my Vista(God I hate this OS) but Photoshop is fast and complex while presenting a clear and simplified GUI.

It will only be so long until core platfrom software will be more available, alot of corporations use UNIX and Linux to write their programs, and believe me, wide market software like Photoshop, MS Office etc will be multi-platform.
SnickersAndPretzels 4 years ago
As of yesterday, Wine supports Photoshop CS and CS2!
A great leap forward. I can now move fully to Gutsy and get rid of my dual boot.

Is not jsut gaming dude. You will miss future.
The only change I see in last 20 years over Linux is, they start copying other OSx, realeasing another laggy/buggy DISTRO, claiming this one - really has it all.
If you are serious to make money LINUX is NOT choice for you.
Leave all those old geezers, ralk big words.
Software is sooo outregously WEAK - big laugh.

You're dumb
It's Linux
It's a lot easier, it has Synaptic, and it lets normal people use it, it talks English not super-nerd
And it's cheaper and has a lot of software available, I love it

a lot software ? like what?.
Besides few poorly written by some students FREEWARE/GNU weak projects that should be count as experimental tools.
What about games? 3D, DirectX, Force-ware, SLI ---- the WORLD STANDARDS!.
YOu are either too old to learn new shit, or have squared head. Well yeah, Linux will fit your needs - which are - check email, open website and story ends in your terminal, big hackers lol

After installing it, did you take out the cd or leave it in? Message me if you want
But if not, after installing, before you restart take out the CD otherwise your computer will keep starting from the CD asking to set up
Ohwowabanana 4 years ago
i installed it from the net, and the cd was provided in a text document, after i uzipped all the files, thats when i get confused on what to do, if i install it without the provided cd it asks for the cd but if install it with the provided cd, it doesnt give me the option to start using ubuntu.
