Best Answer

Type download ubuntu or download linux mint, or which distribution you want to use, in a web-browser. Download the file as an ISO and burn it to a CD or DVD. Put the disc in the CD drive and reboot. You may have to enter the BIOS to change the first boot option from the hard-drive to the CD drive. Eventually, after booting, you are given two choices: The first, either try the operating system (known as a live CD) without making any changes to the hard-drive. All workings is done in RAM. The second option is to install the OS - follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.
