I know that many people cannot live w/o 5 cups of UBUNTU. Try DreamLinux 3.5. You'll dump Windowz 4ever.

Ubuntu should recognize your vista partiton and offer to shrink it. Backup everything up else, in case anything breaks. Use ImgBurn to download the .iso to a blank cd, stick it in the drive and reboot. You may have to adjust BIOS options to enable booting from cd, but it should work.
