Learn How to Install Ubuntu Linux in 5 Minutes

Uploaded by NixiePixel on Apr 28, 2009
Check out my new Linux channel: http://bit.ly/linux-nixie A Tutorial: Ubuntu Linux is a completely free open-source operating system that has many useful features and abilities, and this guide will show you how to try this new OS without harming your Windows system, and it only takes five minutes to learn!
This guide will show you how to:
-Download and burn the Ubuntu image to CD
-Shrink the Windows installation to make room for Ubuntu
-Boot to the Ubuntu live CD and begin the installation process
-A step-by-step description of what options to choose and when during the installation, including how to manually partition Ubuntu on your hard drive
This guide was created for Windows Vista (using the disk manager to shrink Windows and make room for Linux) but should work with Windows XP as well as any version where you can shrink the partition through the control panel. This guide was designed for systems with a single hard disk, but may be used on a multiple hard-disk system with minor changes.

I'm not even going to watch the video... "click next, next, next, done" shouldn't take 5 mins.

Many people follow an old rule of thumb that your swap partition should be twice the size of your main system RAM. This rule is nonsense. On a modern system, that's a LOT of swap, most people prefer that their systems never swap. You don't want your system to ever run out of RAM+swap, but you usually would rather have enough RAM in the system so it doesn't need to swap.

@astromayur No lol just open up the computer and put the ram in. The OS should automatically reconize it.
