Ok, so I currently have Windows XP which is filled with crap. Idealistically I would like to wipe the Windows XP clean, start with a new slate, and then install Linux Ubuntu. If anyone could help other than just giving me the Linux Ubuntu website, I would really appreciate it.

Answer by Jessica Queller
Don’t be too hasty.

Start with just using the Ubuntu live CD and play around with it. See how it works with your hardware. See how you like the interface. Get to know your way around the menus. Use the live CD for a couple of weeks.

If you still like Ubuntu, use Wubi to set up a no-fuss dual-boot with Windows:

If, after dual-booting for another two weeks, you still find yourself booting into Ubuntu exclusively, then you can just install Ubuntu over XP:

Since I want to get linux working on my PS3 soon but hate the thought of all this typing in just to install a minute program.

Best answer:

Answer by rabbit
I know nothing about PS3s but on PCs I’d say any Debian or Red Hat based distro allows for the easiest installation of software. On a Debian-based distro, you can install .deb packages with two clicks, on a Red Hat-based distro it’s .rpm packages.

Look at the Debian and Red Hat based sections on this list:

My biggest qualm with Linux right now (if any) is that my parents are still stuck without an Internet connection. So if I want to add Linux-based software I have to perform a miracle by downloading not only the package I want but every package it depends on too… right?

Is there something I’m missing that’ll tell me what to get regardless, from another computer, so i don’t have to worry about the process?

Best answer:

Answer by Ben
You’ll still have to grab all the dependencies separately, but you can download the software offline. Linux programs take one of 3 forms: Debian packages (used in Debian and Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu), Red Hat packages (used in Fedora, CentOS, and so on), and tarballs. With Ubuntu and Debian at least, each maintains an online version of the repository (at http://packages.ubuntu.com and http://packages.debian.org respectively) that let you download the .deb packages manually and bring them over to your parents house. The package pages also include links to those package’s dependencies, but there’s a good chance that many of those packages are already installed.

Alternatively, I suppose if you have a phone with a data plan, you could tether the phone.

I’ve been looking at the Ubuntu Linux site for a while, they tell you how to partition a drive, but not how to set it up for two HD’s with a choice of which to boot on startup.

I know I could have the BIOS always pop up on powerup, but is there an easier way?

Best answer:

Answer by Ntothat
I have two hard drives. When booting up I select “Setup” to enter the bios. I then select the hard drive with Linux as the boot drive. When I am done, I reboot and then enter Setup and reselect the hard drive with windows to boot regular.

You can try parallels desktop which allows you to use multiple operating systems as an application that may help. I use it to run microsoft office on my mac.
