is Ubuntu, linux...I finally wanted to get around to trying Linux, and well I cant seem to find a Linux os download anywhere. Just keep on getting redirected to Ubuntu. so, blades..how dumb am I?
yep ubuntu is a very good distro of linux. Its probably the easiest to use coming from Windows. Download it and burn it to a disc, and then boot from the disc.
^^ Yea Ubuntu is linux. pretty good OS, i was using dual boot with windows xp before i upgraded to windows 7. Go to the official site and get that download. everythings free too
Because Linux is open-source there are a lot of variations or "flavors" or "distributions" (aka "distros"). Ubuntu is one of them.
ubuntu is really no different than windows. If you really want to learn linux, download Mint or SUSE. Redhat is good for servers. I run it on my PS3 and my server. But back to your question, Yes it is and you dont even have to dual boot. you can just run it from the CD, although it runs better if you install the OS.
