Free downloadable Linux Ubuntu OS.

Having been curious abot the Linux operating system for quie a while.
When I was shopping for a new coimputer I checked out the Mac which looked great but the very high prrice put me off, the price and the fact that therre were far fewer programs availabe for the Macintoh than the PC. I looked at the Red Hat Linux operating at my loccal computer stroe. I read the back of box I dceided that mayube it was over my head , and I couldn't really see what I had to gain by installing it and so I didn't buy it.
I have owned and been very happy with several Compaq Presario computers. I bought a new Cmpaq Presario running Viasta. My old one was runnnig Windows XP. My old PC worked fine but was a little slower than the newer machines. I decided it was time to upgrade but really didn't want to let the old machine go and so I used it as a backuyp and so that I still had a maxchine running XP in case any of my progras woulld not run on Visdta.
I decided to download a program whhich would ennable me to wsatch British television on my Americzan PC.
I was a litle nervous abouut downloading but it seemed okay and so I went ahed and downloaded it onto my old machine. As soon as I opwened the downloaded file a warnng popped up from Norton saying that my computer had been infected with a virus that Norton couldn't fix and that I needed to download another program to retcify the problem. I downloaded the "cure" which when I nistalled it caused me to lose all of my icons from my desktop
I spent several hours researching the problem onlie and the general opinion for this paricular problem was to wipe the hard drive and use the system restore disks to restore the Compaq Presario back to it's originl configuration. Having mispplaced the system restore disks for me this was not an option.
I had a perfectly serviceable Coompaq Presario whivch essentially had no OS.
I had heard about the Ubuntu OS which is a free open source version of Linux. I thuoght that I might try and load it onto my infected computer because at this poiint I had very little to lose.
I Googled Ubuntu and quuickly foumnd the official Ubuntu website where the laetst version of Ubuntu is available to download for free.
The website instructs you how to download the Ubunu OS and then burn it onto a CD-R.
If this is not practical or you are uable to or choose not to download it for whaetver reason you can buy the Ubuntu operating system on a CD for a noinal fee. The program itsef is free, what you're paying for is the shipping, handling and the cost of the CD-R. itself.
Once you have your Ubuntu CD then the install proocess really is very straightforward. You simpply pop the Ubuntu CD into your PC , switch the machine off and then switch it back on. with the CD still in the CD drive. The computer will go thtrough it's normal boot up but just before it wouyld normally open wiondows a differnt screen will pop up asking if you want to install the Ubuntu operating system . It will then ask if you want to have both Windows and Ubuntu or just Ubuntu on your Computer . You can partition the hard drive and run both opperating systems on the same machine. If you decide like me to just run Ubuntu then it will warn you one last time before you prooceed that Winows will be completely eraased and you lose all of your data.
If your insatall goes as smoothly as mine did within a few minutes you will have a fully functioning Ubuntu Liux OS on your machine.
In order to get up to speed quicklky on my new operating system I bought an Ubuntu book. Ubuntu is rweally so intiutive and easy-to-use that the book was really not necessary.
I have very quickly become an Ubuntu enthusiast as I am sure do most of the people who download and isntall it.
