A quick and relatively easy method of getting Ubuntu Linux - if you already have a Windows system and you want to run Ubuntu Linux on it - is to download Ubuntu and install it by using the Wubi (the Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) from this Ubuntu web site: http://wubi-installer.org You can use the Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) to download and install Ubuntu Linux in Windows and this is very similar to installing any software program in Windows. One of the great benefits of using the "Wubi Installer" is that you can also uninstall Ubuntu Linux from Windows if you need to (in the same way as you uninstall any Windows program). When you use the "Wubi Installer", you DON'T have to do the following steps (that you would "typically" need to do) to install the Desktop version of Ubuntu Linux on an existing Windows system: download a Linux ISO file burn the Linux ISO file to a Linux CD set up your computer to boot from CD boot with the Linux CD to run Linux "Live" and get to the GNOME desktop double-click on the "Install" icon to start the installation routine run the Ubuntu Linux installation routine Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: The Wubi Installer is only used to install the Desktop (not Server) Edition of Ubuntu Linux on an existing Windows system - and not on a new or used computer system that doesn't have Windows already installed on it. All of the "download, burn, setup, and so on" steps listed above will be described shortly in upcoming sections. The Ubuntu Linux installation steps described above are required to install the Desktop and Server Editions (versions) of Ubuntu Linux - either on a computer system that has Windows (to create a Dual-Boot Windows / Linux system) or one that doesn't have Windows Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: Keep in mind that prior to installing Ubuntu Linux (or any Linux distro) on an existing Windows system, you need to do a complete backup of your Windows system - twice! Also make sure that you can use the backups that you have created to restore your Windows system from backup.

How do you install ubuntu 9.10 using wubi with already installed Windows Vista?
It depends on what you are trying to do.

The same could be said if installing Ubuntu, since it may have functionality that is not present in Windows 7.

What is the best Linux desktop based operating system to install on AMD athalon laptop?
As it is free to download and install any Linux based operating system, it is possible to try a variety - Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Puppy, and so on - before making a final choice. If Windows is already the laptop's operating system, use the Linux CDs as a 'Live CD', which allows you to try the new OS without making changes to the hard-drive (work is done in RAM only). Once a choice has been made, either install the Linux OS alongside Windows - dual-booting, or allow Linux to wipe the hard-drive and install Linux only. Another method is to use WUBI (use Google for details) to install Ubuntu as a file on a Windows machine.

How do you install Linux so that you don't have to reboot your computer to switch from Windows XP to Linux and the other way around?
For this case it's better to use so called virtual machines, for instance, Virtualbox, vmware workstation, Microsoft virtual machine and so on. You can also install Ubuntu Linux directly in windows using a program called Wubi. Remember, it is also very easy to create a portable USB installation from the liveCD. (Right now it takes my debian based Ubuntu 9.04 gnome desktop around 20 seconds to boot up from the USB - which takes the pain out of using computers when I'm out and about).
