Question by mark r: What is the best way to install Linux Ubuntu?
I am looking to install Linux on my laptop (Dell Inspiron E1705). During installation I was asked if I wanted to install it under Windows or as a stand alone. I have partitioned my hard drive so the installation as a standalone is no problem, but this is my first time attempting to work with Linux. .
Are there any other issues I might have to face, and if so what is the best way to deal with them???
Thanks in advance.

Since you already have Windows, that’s good (if you wanted to keep it). The only hard part will be identifying the new partition you want to put Linux, which is really 2-partitions, Linux wanting a swap partition. So, fire up LiveCD and use the DiskPartition to look at the partitions. Make darn sure you know which is Windows. Quit, click the Install Ubuntu icon. In less than a half hour you will have a dual boot machine. When you go Linux, Ubuntu will want to upgrade parts of the Linux.
And, u know, after a while, I formatted the whole drive, made a new 40 meg partition and made a single-boot. Never use the whole hard drive, because it forever and a day to scan the drive for file inventory.
