| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: Vista and linux advice Ubuntu is really great. It's probably a bit more user-friendly than some of the other linux distributions too. If you want to try it out, I'd suggest installing it via Wubi: Wubi - Ubuntu Installer for Windows That way, it's easy to take off if you find you don't like it. If you do like it, then I'd recommend installing Ubuntu normally from a CD on a separate partition. Good luck. |

| Windows Vista Enterprise x64 SP2 | Re: Vista and linux advice Good point, Odd. Also, you might consider using the Live CD. This allows you to test Ubuntu without actually installing it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD |
