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:

I very much like Linux and am very new to Windows 7 Professional OS (that’s the reason for all the Windows 7 Professional questions on here, which I do appreciate everyone’s helpful responses). Can you recommend a Linux OS that would complement Windows 7 Professional OS? A computer technician friend recommend Ubuntu. Thank you in advance, my friends, as I truly appreciate your helpfulness. :-)

Ubuntu is definitely the way to go. I have it and it’s great speed wise. Use Wubi Installer, and it’s really easy too. Then if you need to uninstall it, just go into Windows 7/ Programs and features, and uninstall it.

I used to have linux on my computer but had to install windows for a video game. Now I want to go back to linux without having to reinstall it. Is there a way to override the boot to Windows and instead boot up linux? Or perhaps a way to choose which one I want to boot (Like using the command key on a mac to decide between mac os and windows?).
