Q. 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.
A. Weee! Yay! a question that gets me excited! I have been using Ubuntu for about 3yrs now and love it. Though I still have XP installed for games. You have many options infront of you to do this.
The current release of Ubuntu (8.10) allows you to do the following:
-Run Ubuntu INSIDE windows as a virtual OS so you can check it out and see whats what.
- Boot from the CD and use it as a "Live" CD
- Dual Boot (what I use), so that when the machine starts you can select what OS you wish to boot.
- Clean install, say goodbye to windows forever and just go with Linux.
All you need to do to get one of these is download the .iso image from the Ubuntu website (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download), burn it to a CD and yer good to go.
For the 1st option just put the CD in the drive while windows is up and running and it will ask you if you would like to do the install.
For the other options, boot the machine with the CD and select install from the menu and follow the options for the type of install you would like.
You will find there is a ton of help out there from both the Ubuntu and the general Linux community. The Ubuntu forums are a great place to find many answers to the questions you will have. Good luck and I hope you make the switch.

A. I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 LTS and Linux Mint 10 Main Edition which are built upon Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Long Term Support) and Ubuntu 10.10 they are easy to install and easy to use plus they come with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
