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.

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:

I read that my laptop is compatible with Ubuntu and Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope, so I was wondering if I could use it on my Sony VAIO VGN-N250E. Thank you for your help.

Yes. Mint is just a derivative of Ubuntu. I just installed it on my HP DV6000, and I like it a lot.

Okay, so I installed Ubuntu 10.04.2 onto my Sony Vaio today and of course, due to Sony’s incredible lack of common sense, the touchpad wouldn’t be detected, just the keyboard. This fix shows how to fix this problem on whatever machine it should appear on, and the best bit? You don’t even need to plug in a USB-Mouse!

I don’t want to have Linux Ubuntu as my permanent operating system. I want to keep in on a CD, but which one do I need?

Best answer:

Answer by Eric A
You want a LiveCD.

Knoppix is a better choice, it is designed to run from a CD or DVD (there are 2 versions, the DVD has a huge number of programs that run from the DVD).

We have found that there are not a whole lot of consumer-level devices out there made for an easy Linux backup solution. Anyone out there have a great setup that includes a portable backup that they can move offsite?

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?

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.

I have a question, i tried to install 2moons onto linux with wine, everything worked untill the end, nothing installed. Is there some other software or a way i have to run it through terminal to make it work?

Best answer:

Answer by raghav33
if at all there was any possibility through wine, crossover would have done it. But looks like it doesn’t work with crossover (http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?forum=1;app_id=3562;mhl=28643;msg=28625)

So u can try running it in a windows inside Virtualbox. But directX may not work that great.
